This NBIA 7.1 General Availability (GA) Installation Guide provides you with the instructions to install and configure a fresh NBIA 7.1 GA application. The NBIA installation configures a pre-installed Tomcat application server and creates an NBIA-specific schema within a pre-existing database on a preinstalled MySQL server. NBIA only supports MySQL. LDAP is the only authentication method that is supported.

Directions are given in this document for both Linux and Windows operating systems.
