Run PowerShell script to deploy

PowerShell scripts prepare your environment with all the configuration settings. When you run the PowerShell script to deploy Unified Access Gateway, the solution is ready for production on first system boot.

However, both Admin UI and the API are not available if the Admin UI password is not provided during deployment. If you do not provide the Admin UI password at the time of deployment, you cannot add a user later to enable access to either the Admin UI or the API. You must redeploy your Unified Access Gateway.

You can include the parameters in the INI file for creating low-priviledged admin users with monitoring roles. Creating superuser admin user is not supported. You can configure the password policies for the root user and admin user before deploying the Unified Access Gateway instance.

Parameters

For more information about the parameters, you can see the section in which the equivalent admin UI parameter is used.

For example: some of the deployment parameters are described in PowerShell deployment parameters and Deploying to vSphere using the OVF Template Wizard.

For information about parameters used in system configuration, syslog server settings, network settings, and so on, see Advanced settings.

For information about parameters used in edge services and other use cases of Unified Access Gateway such as Workspace ONE Intelligence and Identify Bridging, see Edge Service settings.

Prerequisites

For a Hyper-V deployment, and if you are upgrading Unified Access Gateway with static IP, delete the older appliance before deploying the newer instance of Unified Access Gateway.
Verify that the system requirements are appropriate and available for use.

Procedure

Download the Unified Access Gateway OVA from the Omnissa Customer Connect portal to your machine.
Download the uagdeploy-XXX.zip files into a folder on the machine.

The ZIP files are available at the Omnissa Customer Connect page for Unified Access Gateway.
Open a PowerShell script and modify the directory to the location of your script.
Open the INI file for the Unified Access Gateway virtual appliance and modify the settings appropriately. For more information, see PowerShell deployment parameters.

For example: Deploy a new Unified Access Gateway appliance UAG1. The configuration file is named uag1.ini. This file contains all the configuration settings for UAG1. You can use the sample INI files in the uagdeploy.ZIP file to create the INI file and modify the settings appropriately.

Note

You can have unique INI files for multiple Unified Access Gateway deployments in your environment. You must change the IP Addresses and the name parameters in the INI file appropriately to deploy multiple appliances.
To convert the private key from PKCS8 to PKCS1, thats is, from the BEGIN PRIVATE KEY format to BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY format, run the following openssl command: openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyrsa.pem
To convert PKCS#12 format file with either a .p12 or .pfx file extension and to ensure the key is an RSA key, run the following commands: openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nokeys -out cert.pem openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nodes -nocerts -out key.pem openssl rsa -in key.pem -check -out keyrsa.pem
The [adminSAMLSettings] included in the INI file is for configuring the SAML authentication method used to authenticate the users with administrator access to the admin UI. Here, entityId refers to the external metadata provider entity id.
Passwords for the low-privileged admin users with monitoring roles are provided as parameter to the PowerShell script. If the password is not provided, then the user is prompted to enter the password. Provide the parameter as newAdminUserPwd and the parameter value similar to monitoringUser1:P@ssw0rd1;monitoringUser2:P@ssw0rd2. The enabled parameter in the INI file is optional and defaults to true if the parameter is unavailable.

5. To make sure that the script execution is not restricted, type the PowerShell set-executionpolicy command.

```

set-executionpolicy -scope currentuser unrestricted
```

If there is a warning for the script, run the following command to unblock the warning:
unblock-file -path .\uagdeploy.ps1

Run the command to start the deployment. If you do not specify the .INI file, the script defaults to ap.ini.
```
.\uagdeploy.ps1 -iniFile uag1.ini
```
Enter the credentials when prompted and complete the script.

Unified Access Gateway appliance is deployed and available for production.

What to do next

If you want to upgrade Unified Access Gateway while preserving the existing settings, edit the .ini file to change the source reference to the new version and rerun the .ini file: uagdeploy.ps1 uag1.ini. This process can take up to 3 minutes.
