The installation process guarantees a successful installation of the middleware product and configures the product to interact with the LDAP and SSO infrastructure. The installation generates an SSL certificate request, sends the csr to the internal CA infrastructure and waits for the csr to be approved. Once approved the certificate is downloaded to the appropriate keystore and SSL is configured per product. The installation process finishes the configuration with a standard port schema.The footprint sets the base for reporting, and tracks the versions of the products to maintain Bank of America Information Security baselines. In addition to maintaining the installation processes I also hold quarterly conference calls for the IT teams initiating the installation processes and answer any middleware questions. I am able to maintain my reputation as a credible business architect by assuring the IT teams throughout the bank that the footprint aligns with a majority of the use-cases.
