Upgrading exacqVision Enterprise Health Manager – SQLite Database Access (Legacy)

If you select the SQLite database when installing or upgrading exacqVision Enterprise Health Manager (eVEHM) in Windows Vista or Windows 7 and install the database in or under the Program Files directory, you will have to right-click and select Run as Admin every time you use the eVEHM Client. The Client requires elevated privileges to read and write to a database in or under Program Files.

To avoid selecting Run as Admin every time you run eVEHM Client, save the database file to a directory that is not under Program Files.

Using SSL with exacqVision Web Service (Linux)

Version 8.4 and Higher

Follow the instructions in Article 1002 to configure HTTPS support in the Web Service.

<br>

Version 8.2 and Lower

SSL, a security system combining authentication and encryption, is used to protect communication between a web server and client. Enabling SSL on a web server allow all clients connecting to that server two key protections:

  1. The client is able to identify the server. There is no way for a fake server to misrepresent itself to a client.
  2. The communication between the client and server is encrypted, preventing a third-party from seeing what data is sent. This ensures the safety of private communication such as usernames and passwords, video data, and more.

NOTES:

  1. This article assumes that exacqVision Web Service version 3.10 or later has been installed with default settings. If you are running version 3.0 to 3.8, see the attached legacy PDF.
  2. A self-signed certificate allows you to use a web browser, but it does not work with mobile devices. Only trusted third-party certificates work with mobile devices.

To use SSL with exacqVision Web Server in Linux, complete the following steps:

  1. Stop exacqVision Web Server by typing sudo /usr/local/exacq/webservice/service.sh stop in a Terminal window.
  2. Open the Web Server Apache Configuration file by typing sudo gedit /etc/evapache/httpd.conf in a Terminal window.
    Find the following lines:

    #Include /etc/evapache/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
    #LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so
    #LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
  3. Delete the pound signs (#) at the beginning of each line.
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. It is recommended, but not required, that you disable the access log for SSL, as this file can grow very large. To do this, open the Apache SSL Configuration file by typing sudo gedit /etc/evapache/extra/httpd-ssl.conf in a Terminal window.
    Find the line with the following text:

    TransferLog “${SRVROOT}/logs/access.log”
    Change it to:#TransferLog “${SRVROOT}/logs/access.log”When finished, save and close the file.
  6. Open the Web Service configuration file by typing sudo gedit /etc/webservice.conf
    Add the following lines to the end of the document:

    [Broker]
    ssl_private_key = /etc/evapache/server.key
    ssl_certificate = /etc/evapache/server.crt

    When finished, save and close the file.
  7. If you were issued certificates, rename them to server.crt and server.key and save them to the /etc/evapache directory and then skip to Step 10. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
  8. Run cd /etc/evapache in a Terminal window.
  9. To create a self-signed certificate, type sudo openssl req -new -x509 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -out /etc/evapache/server.crt -keyout /etc/evapache/server.key and answer the questions.

    NOTE:     COMMON NAME should be the IP address or FQDN that you use for access to your exacqVision Web Service.
  10. Re-start exacqVision Web Server by typing sudo /usr/local/exacq/webservice/service.sh restart.

    NOTE: To connect to exacqVision Web Server using SSL, you must use HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Troubleshooting

If exacqVision Web Service does not start after configuring it for SSL, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Apache error logs, found by default at /user/local/exacq/webservice/evapache/logs/error_log.
  2. Look for an entry similar to the following:

    [Wed Mar 04 09:08:54.512004 2015] [ssl:emerg] [pid 19116] AH02565: Certificate and private key www.example.com:443:0 from CERTIFCATE_FILE_NAME.crt and KEYFILE_NAME.key do not match AH00016: Configuration Failed
  3. If you see this entry, complete the following steps:

    a.) Run the following commands, replacing the values in all caps with your values:

    openssl.exe x509 -noout -modulus -in PATH_TO_CRT | openssl md5
    openssl.exe rsa -noout -modulus -in PATH_TO_KEY | openssl md5
    openssl.exe req -noout -modulus -in PATH_TO_CSR | openssl md5

    For example:

    openssl.exe x509 -noout -modulus -in ..\conf\certificate.crt | openssl md5
    openssl.exe rsa -noout -modulus -in ..\conf\privateKey.key | openssl md5
    openssl.exe req -noout -modulus -in ..\conf\csr.csr | openssl md5

    b.) Compare the result values from all of the calls. Each resulting string should be identical. If the values do not match, confer with the certificate authority that issued the certificate.


NOTE: Web Sockets communication will not work using SSL encryption for Web Service versions 7.2.0 – 7.2.6.

Workaround

Disable web sockets in the client configuration page of the browser Client.

Resolution

Update to exacqVision Web Service version 8.4 or later.

Replacing an eDVR Board on a Windows-based exacqVision System (Legacy)

Replacing-an-eDVR-Board-on-a-Windows-based-exacqVision-System.pdf

The following procedures describe the process for replacing an eDVR board in a Windows-based exacqVision server. If you have an exacqVision server with multiple eDVR boards, complete both procedures; on a single-board system, you can skip directly to the second procedure.

NOTE: You must be logged in to Windows as an Adminsitrator to perform these procedures. If you are logged in as a User (the account used by default for normal operation of the system), select Log Off from the Start menu and click the Log Off button. When the login screen appears, log in as an Administrator. The default password for the Administrator account is “admin256.”

NOTE: It is recommended that you back up your settings before performing these procedures. To do this, run the exacqVision Client, open the Configuration tree, and select the system in which you will replace the eDVR board. Click Export Settings on the System tab, enter a name for the settings file, and click Save. If you need to restore the settings after the procedures, click Import Settings, browse to the settings file, and click Open.

For a system with multiple eDVR boards

  1. From the Start menu, select Run… . Enter services.msc and click OK.
  2. In the Services window, right-click exacqVision Server and select Stop. Wait for the service to shut down. Leave the Services window open.
  3. Start the Control Center application from the Start, Programs, Exacq eDVR Setup menu.
  4. Select the first eDVR board listed under Exacq in the tree on the left side of Control Center. Determine the Device
    Number for the board as listed on the Info tab.
  5. Repeat the previous step for each listed eDVR board. There should be a board with a Device Number of 1, and any additional boards should be numbered 2, 3, and 4 (up to the total number of eDVR boards installed).
  6. If an installed eDVR board is not listed in the tree, note the device number that is not associated with a board. For
    example, if you have a two-board system and the only listed board has a device number of 2, the board that will be replaced is device number 1.
  7. If all the installed eDVR boards are correctly listed, determine which board needs to be replaced by selecting each board and selecting the Test tab. The board that doesn’t display video correctly is the board that needs to be replaced. Note the device number and serial number (12 characters beginning with “SR” or “ER”) for that board by viewing the Info tab.
  8. Close Control Center.
  9. If you are not ready to replace the eDVR board and you want to resume video recording, restart the exacqVision
    Server service. To do this, right-click exacqVision Server in the Services window and select Start. Wait for the service to start.
  10. Close the Services window.

For ALL systems (with a single eDVR board or with multiple eDVR boards)

  1. Obtain the replacement eDVR board from exacq Technologies.
  2. Shut down the exacqVision system.
  3. Disconnect the power cable from the system.
  4. Remove the lid and determine the location of the eDVR board that needs to be replaced.

    NOTE: The location of the eDVR boards and the steps required to remove them vary depending on the exacqVision server model. On a 2U or 4U system with multiple boards lined up horizontally, device number 1 is the top board and device number 2 is the bottom board. On a 4U system with multiple boards plugged into the motherboard, device 1 is the board farthest to the left when looking at the back of the system, and each successive board to the right is device number 2, 3, and so on. If you know the serial number of the board from the previous procedure, look for the serial number sticker affixed to the board (12 characters beginning with “SR” or “ER”). Be sure to note how the cables are connected to the board you remove.
  5. Install the replacement eDVR board and connect all the cables in the same way they were connected to the board
    you removed.
  6. Connect the power cable. If the system does not start automatically, start the system manually. The system will log in to Windows as a User.
  7. Log out of the User account and log in to the Administrator account, as described in the note at the beginning of this article.
  8. From the Start menu, select Run… . Enter services.msc and click OK.
  9. In the Services window, right-click exacqVision Server and select Stop. Wait for the service to shut down. Leave the Services window open.
  10. Start the Control Center application from the Start, Programs, Exacq eDVR Setup menu.
  11. On a single-board system, select the eDVR board under Exacq in the tree on the left side of Control Center. On the
    Info tab, change the Device Number to 1. Click Save.

    On a multiple-board system, determine which listed eDVR board is the replacement by selecting each board and
    viewing the Device Number. The replacement board should be the highest-numbered device and should not match the device number for the board you removed. For example, on a two-board system, the replacement board should be shown as device number 3. You must change the device number of the replacement board to match the device number of the board you replaced, as determined in the previous procedure. Click Save.

    NOTE: It is very important that the replacement eDVR board’s device number matches the device number of the
    board you removed. Failure to assign the correct device number to the replacement board will result in incorrect
    functionality.
  12. Select the Test tab to verify that the new eDVR board is correctly displaying video from the connected cameras.
  13. Close Control Center.
  14. In the Services window, right-click exacqVision Server and select Start. Wait for the service to start.
  15. Close the Services window.
  16. Log out of the Administrator account and log back in to Windows as a User for the normal operation of the system.

    NOTE: If these procedures were not followed precisely, the names of the cameras associated with the replaced
    eDVR board might appear with default names (Input 1, Input 2, and so on). If so, restore the settings that you
    backed up before starting the replacement process.
  17. Return the eDVR board that you removed to Exacq Technologies using the packaging in which the replacement board was shipped. Print the RMA number on the outside of the package and send it to the following address:
    Exacq Technologies, Inc.
    11955 Exit Five Parkway, Building 3
    Fishers, IN 46037 USA

Using SSL with exacqVision Web Service (Windows)

Version 8.4 and Higher

Follow the instructions in Article 1002 to configure HTTPS support in the Web Service.

<br>

Version 8.2 and Lower

SSL, a security system combining authentication and encryption, is used to protect communication between a web server and client. Enabling SSL on a web server allow all clients connecting to that server two key protections:

  1. The client is able to identify the server. There is no way for a fake server to misrepresent itself to a client.
  2. The communication between the client and server is encrypted, preventing a third-party from seeing what data is sent. This ensures the safety of private communication such as usernames and passwords, video data, and more.

NOTE: A self-signed certificate allows you to use a web browser, but it does not work with mobile devices. Only trusted third-party certificates work with mobile devices.

To use SSL in Windows with exacqVision Web Service, complete the following steps:

  1. Either create a self-signed certificate, or purchase a certificate from a trusted third party. (Creating a Self-Signed SSL Certificate) COMMON NAME should be the IP address or FQDN that you use to access your exacqVision Web Service. If acquiring a third-party cert, you might need to provide them with a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file as follows:

    a. Navigate to https://exacq.com/support/gencsr.php.

    b. Enter all fields to output a .csr file and RSA key file to a zip file. Submit this data to the CA from which you are purchasing the certificate.

    c. If you have purchased a chained certificate, be sure to download the appropriate intermediate bundle.

    d. Place the .crt file and the intermediate bundle file (also a .crt file) from your CA into the Apache\conf directory.
  2. Rename the .crt file to server.crt and the .key file to server.key. Save the .crt and .key files to C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\conf\.
  3. Stop exacqVision Web Server using the link on the Start menu.
  4. Open the Web Server Configuration file with Notepad as an administrator from C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\conf\httpd.conf.

    Find the following line:

    LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

    Delete any preceding pound sign (#) characters.

    Find the following line:

    Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

    Delete any preceding pound sign (#) characters.

    NOTE: Make sure your SSL Certificate File and SSL Certificate Key File are in the Apache\conf directory.
  5. Open the Apache SSL Configuration file in Notepad as an administrator. The file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf.
    Find the line that begins with:
    FilesMatch “…

    Change it to:

    FilesMatch “\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php|html)$”

    NOTE:     Those lines will also include angle brackets. Do not remove the brackets.

    When finished, save and close the file.
  6. It is recommended, but not required, that you disable the access log for SSL, as this file can grow very large. To do this, open the Apache SSL Configuration file in Notepad as an administrator. The file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf. Find the line with the following text:

    TransferLog “${SRVROOT}/logs/access.log”
    Change it to:#TransferLog “${SRVROOT}/logs/access.log”When finished, save and close the file.
  7. Open the Web Service Configuration file in Notepad as an administrator. The file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\WebService.ini.
    Add the following lines to the end of the document:

    [Broker]
    ssl_private_key = C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\conf\server.key
    ssl_certificate = C:\Program Files (x86)\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\conf\server.crt

    When finished, save and close the file.
  8. Open an exception for TCP port 443 in your firewall.
  9. Start exacqVision Web Server using the link under the Start button.

<br>

Tips

  1. When purchasing an SSL certificate, many providers offer an Intermediate Bundle, or additional certificates that need to be present that will link your certificate through the chain to a root certification authority. Usually the provider will also provide documentation that describes how to accomplish this with Apache, but is a good idea to ask them before or during the purchase process. Exacq is not responsible for making your certs capable of working with Apache.
  2. The httpd-ssl.conf file contains sections for Server Certificate, Server Private Key, Server Certificate Chain, and Certificate Authority. You must modify these sections with the appropriate paths to your specific files.
  3. It is possible to combine all the intermediate certificates that the provider might give you into one file and use that in the Server Certificate Chain section. Again, consult the provider for more information.
  4. You should also find and modify the following line to include the name for which your certificate was issued (your server’s name) instead of:

    ServerName www.example.com:443

<br>

Troubleshooting

If exacqVision Web Service does not start after configuring it for SSL, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Apache error logs, found by default at C:\Program Files\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\logs\error.log.
  2. Look for an entry similar to the following:

    [Wed Mar 04 09:08:54.512004 2015] [ssl:emerg] [pid 19116] AH02565: Certificate and private key www.example.com:443:0 from CERTIFCATE_FILE_NAME.crt and KEYFILE_NAME.key do not match AH00016: Configuration Failed
  3. If you see this entry, complete the following steps:

    a.) Run the openssl utility (found by default at C:\Program Files\exacqVision\WebService\Apache\bin\openssl.exe).

    b.) Run the following commands, replacing the values in all caps with your values:

    openssl.exe x509 -noout -modulus -in PATH_TO_CRT | openssl md5
    openssl.exe rsa -noout -modulus -in PATH_TO_KEY | openssl md5
    openssl.exe req -noout -modulus -in PATH_TO_CSR | openssl md5

    For example:

Locking Down Linux GRUB (Legacy)

To lock down Linux GRUB, complete the following steps:

<br>

  1. Download the attachment lock-grub.sh.
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x lock-grub.sh
  3. Execute the script with your desired password: sudo ./lock-grub.sh admin256

<br>

This puts a password entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst as an md5 hash. If you want to change it after running this script, replace the hash with one created with grub-md5-crypt.

Highpoint RAID Troubleshooting (Legacy)

For troubleshooting information, see the attached PDF.
The following exacqVision models were manufactured with Highpoint RAID controllers from 2007 to 2009:

  • 2310 (4 ports)
  • 2320 (8 ports)
  • 2300 (4 ports, PCIe 1x)

<br>

To determine whether your system contains a Highpoint RAID controller, look at the RAID BIOS screen that appears when the system is first started (before the operating system starts).
