Topology
If you have just received your license serials, please refer to the Getting Started topic.
A Devolutions Server instance is actually a web application. This allows for exposing its services on the Internet or an Intranet.
The recommended Topology is the use of two servers: a Database server and a Web server. For smaller installations, a single server can be used, but resources will be shared between the two user groups, thereby affecting performance.
The Devolutions Server Console is now offered as a stand alone application. It is available on the Devolutions download page .
Please ensure before starting the installation that you have .NET 4.8 installed on your machine. Available to download from this Microsoft link: .NET Framework 4.8 Offline Installer .
It is highly recommended to enable SSL Encryption in order to protect communication with the instance of the SQL Server. Please follow the instructions from Microsoft on How to enable SSL encryption . Note that we recommend this be done after the initial setup is complete.
For full Active Directory integration, the application pool uses a domain identity. Both servers need to be joined to the domain.
