3. Installation
All of the following components are required for your first ESA installation:
At least one instance of the Authentication Server
At least one instance of the Management Tools
At least one of the authentication endpoints (API, Web Application, Remote Desktop or RADIUS)
All the components may be installed on a single machine, or they may be installed across multiple machines in a distributed
environment. As is the case with distributed systems there are many possible installation scenarios.
Only a single generic installation scenario will be described here, yet the steps described should generalize well to other
deployment scenarios. The example installation consists of two sequences. After completing both, your deployment will
correspond with the figure below.
