1.3 Installation – Archibus Environment Configuration

This section contains details of Archibus application instances, servers, clients, and directory structure. This Archibus configuration is specific for Zynga, but follows a standard RSC configuration pattern.

Application Instances

To allow structured software development and exploration of new capabilities, the following Archibus application instances will be maintained:

Production Environment

This environment contains Zynga’s live data and drawings. Changes to this environment require testing in the Development environment, and completion of the Change Request process.

Development Environment

This environment is a recent copy of the Production environment. It is used to by developers to build enhancements or fixes to the Archibus Application. Once Developers have completed enhancements, they are also tested in this environment.

Demo Environment

This environment contains a standard out-of-the-box instance of the Archibus Applications, with no Zynga data; all data in this environment is demonstration data created by Archibus to demonstrated Archibus capabilities. This environment allows Zynga to explore other Archibus capabilities before setting them up in their own environments.

Servers

These environments are hosted on the following Windows VM Servers. The servers are VMs running on VM Hosts physically located in Ntirety data centers as detailed below:

Server Name	Description	Location
zynga2.rsc2lc.com	Production server	Primary Node: Failover Node:
zynga2.rsc2lc.com	Development server	Primary Node: Failover Node:
zynga2.rsc2lc.com	Demo server

Primary Application Software

The following are the primary application software packages that run on each server type

Application Server

Tomcat – Application Server – Web Central runs inside Tomcat
IIS – SpaceView and MicroView run under IIS
Java JRE – Java Runtime Engine – Supports Tomcat
PHP – SpaceView and MicroView are written in PHP and need PHP to run
SQL Automation Engine – This is an RSC-proprietary Windows Service that interacts with the SQL Server Database to perform scheduled operations such as file imports and exports. It is also used for updating Archibus calculations such as “update area totals” and “perform chargeback”.

Database Server

SQL Server Database (Standard Version) – Database Server Software
SQL Backup Master – Database Backup Software (Creates daily backups of the database)

Database Server Databases

Application data is stored as follows:

Server	Database	Notes
zynga2.rsc2lc.com	ZYNGA_241_PROD	Production Database
zynga2.rsc2lc.com	ZYNGA_241_DEV	Development Database
zynga2.rsc2lc.com	HQ_241	Demo Database

Access Permissions and Security

There are two ways to access the servers: As a Server Administrator, and as an Application User.

Server Administrator Access

Server Administrators access the servers using Windows Remote Desktop. The following security protections are in place to prevent unauthorized Access

RDP Access requires that the user be logged into RSC’s OpenVPN Virtual Private Network (RDP Login Ports are not available externally)
Logging into OpenVPN requires Two-Factor Authentication, in this case DUO on a mobile device linked to the user logging in
Only RSC Domain Administrators have accounts with permissions to log into the server

Application User Access

Application User access is through HTTPS-secured applications which also require SSO SAML Authentication (both SpaceView and WebCentral are set up as SAML Service Providers (SP). Two Identity Providers can grant access to SpaceView and Web Central:

Zynga SSO SAML IdP – This is how Zynga users will be granted access to Web Central and SpaceView
RSC SSO SAML IdP – This is how RSC Administrators will be granted access to Web Central and SpaceView

CAFM ADMINISTRATORS

There are two generic Administrator accounts within WebCentral that RSC Administrators will use:

Name	Logon ID
AFM	AFM
SYSTEM	SYSTEM

CAFM USERS

In Production, Zynga CAFM Users Accounts within Archibus will be created using a SQL Automation Engine Sync. Users will be created based on Employees, created by another Sync. Which users will be able to log in will be determined by Archibus’s connection with the Zynga Single Sign On System, and by Administrators assigning these uses appropriate roles with limited Application access.

Client Environment

Browser Applications

Most client access will be through Web Browsers on their Desktops. The following applications will be available via this mechanism:

Web Central – Archibus Packaged Web Application for users working full-time on Archibus. This is the “heavy” and rich user interface that provides access to all data, but requires training to use.
SpaceView – A quick-access portal to user and space data

All these applications will be available only over TLS 1.2+ connections, and will require Zynga SAML SSO Authentication for access.

Windows Applications

One application needs to be installed directly on users’ desktops because of its need to integrate with other Windows desktop applications

Smart Client – This Windows application allows direct editing of Archibus data. It also connects to either AutoCAD or Revit to allow drawings to be published to Archibus

Smartclient also users HTTPS for communications, will be available only over TLS 1.2+ connections, and will require Zynga SAML SSO Authentication for access.

Only Zynga data administrators and CAD users should need this application installed. RSC can assist with installation and setup.
