Notes


Our main contact with Embark at Chazen is Andrea Selbig.  She controls accounts and access to Embark.  

Anyone using Embark needs to be added to the AD group "Chazen - App - Embark" and must map the M drive (See shared drive info).  The "Chazen - App -Embark" group will grant users all necessary permissions on the M: drive.

Procedure


Embark Install

  1. Go to \\chaz-embark2.doit.wisc.edu\Embark$ to find the current installers. Copy the latest installer version to the desktop.

  3.  When you launch Embark for the first time a dialogue box will appear - Click on the "Custom" tab
  4. Enter - Database name: "Chazen" and Server: "chaz-embark2.doit.wisc.edu" - and click OK
  5. User should be able to log in with their First, Last name and Password

Reconfigure a client to point to new server

  1. Click on the "Embark Client" shortcut to launch
  2. As soon as you click embark hold down the ALT key and wait for the dialogue box to appear
  3. Click on the "Custom" tab and enter Database: "Chazen" and Server "chaz-embark2.doit.wisc.edu"

Network Note: Embark will only work from the Chazen internal network, the DoIT DS internal VLAN, and the Static VPN pool. ALWAYS confirm that the customer has a static VPN assigned to them by having them go to https://access.services.wisc.edu/IPAddress. 

Global Protect will allow sign-ins with "NetID_1" even if the person doesn't actually have a static VPN assigned to them, but it throws them into the DHCP pool instead so it's important to have them check in that link.
