This section walks through installing and registering the F5 Orchestrator on its Windows host with the setup wizard.
Installation and Registration
- Download the installer. Go to Utilities > Integrations > Load Balancers, click the F5 tile, and click Download.
-
Extract the package to a folder on the F5 Orchestrator host. Keep the src folder next to the setup program: the setup copies the agent from it. Right-click the setup program, select Run as administrator, and click Next on the welcome page.
-
Read the license agreement, select I accept the terms and conditions, and click Next.
-
Select CertSecure - F5 Orchestrator Service and click Next, and then click Yes to confirm. The agent is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\CertSecure\CertSecure - F5 Orchestrator. If F5 Orchestrator is already installed on the host, the setup clears the checkbox and explains how to remove the existing installation first.
-
Click Start to copy the agent files. When the message F5 Orchestrator files were installed successfully! appears, click OK, and then click Next.
-
In Backend Server URL, enter the CertSecure backend address. Use the same address you use in the browser, as a hostname or IP, with or without https://. Click Next. The setup saves it in conf.ini under [CERTSECURE]. The remaining values are optional and are described in the Configuration File table.
-
Enter the service account in Username as DOMAIN\username, enter its Password, and click Next. The service runs as this account, and the setup gives it full control over the agent folder.
- In CertSecure, go to Utilities > Integrations > Load Balancers and click Registration Token to generate a one-time token.
-
Back in the setup, click Install. The setup installs the EC_F5_Orchestrator service and runs the agent once as the service account to register it. When the Token Required box appears, paste the registration token and click Submit.
-
Wait for the message F5 Orchestrator service installation and registration successful!, click OK, and then click Next and Finish. The setup starts the service for you. The agent shows as Online in CertSecure Manager within about 60 seconds. If the installation fails, click Open Logs... for details; Retry on the last page removes the failed attempt so you can start again.
