Centralized admin rollout options

How to install the application from command prompt from version 2.3.0

Proxy Support

Note

You must have admin rights to install the application from a command prompt.

Task Mining Client supports:

  • System proxy support

  • Active Directory Authentication

  • Support for proxy configuration scripts

Connect Client to Team/Project during centralized installation

During the installation, an admin can instruct the Task Mining Client to directly connect to a team and project. In this way, the end-users don't have to be instructed to do it and can directly start with capturing data.

  • With an activation link on installation:

    msiexec.exe /qb /i CelonisTaskMining.Installer.msi ACTIVATIONLINKURLPROPERTY="https://team.domain.celonis.cloud/task-mining/join?code=1234-5678-9012-1234"

How to configure the application to run over a secure gateway service (from version 2.1.4)

Note

You can either configure the secure gateway service settings from the MSI installer while installing the application or perform the steps given below. Both require Admin rights.

  1. Create a registry key for the path Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Celonis\TaskMining

  2. Create a registry string value under the previous path with the name secure_gateway_server

  3. Assign the URL of the secure gateway server to the secure_gateway_server ex: mysecuregatewayserver.com/company

    You can secure multiple gateways here by appending additional gateways using a semi-colon delimiter. For example: secure_gateway_server=server1.com;server2.commysecuregatewayserver.com/company

  4. Create a registry string value under the same path with the name client_certificate_subject

  5. Install the client certificate that will be used to authenticate the secure gateway server under Current User/Personal store

  6. Assign the Subject of the client certificate to the client_certificate_subject ex: My Certificate

  7. Create a registry string value under the same path with the name: service_principal_name.

  8. Assign the unique identifier of the secure gateway service instance to the service_principal_name.

  9. To rollback, remove the registry values given above.
