Please make sure that the installation and user requirements listed below are met.

Prerequisites for installation

To ensure a smooth installation, please check in advance whether you have the necessary roles and rights, the technical requirements are met, and the network is configured correctly.

Roles & rights

Depending on the type of installation, you require different permissions on the target system:

Technical requirements

The following system requirements must be met on the end devices:

Please note: SecuRooms Drive does not support Windows Terminal Servers. Full functionality is not guaranteed when installed or used in terminal server environments.

Network

Your network must be configured for communication with the FTAPI server as follows:

• Access: Access to your FTAPI server must be guaranteed (default: https://[your-instance].ftapi.com).
• Ports: Port 443 (HTTPS) must be opened in the firewall.
• Proxy: If applicable, proxy configuration according to your corporate policies.

SecuRooms Drive picks up the machine's proxy settings automatically from the Windows internet settings. In most cases no configuration is required. To set a specific proxy machine-wide instead, see the article 📋 SecuRooms Drive: Proxy settings.

FTAPI system requirement: version 4.68.0 or higher

SecuRooms Drive version 1.1.0 requires FTAPI version 4.68.0 or higher. All future SecuRooms Drive versions require this or a higher version. 

If you use FTAPI in the cloud, your instance is updated automatically and already meets the requirement. If you run FTAPI on-premises, update your instance to version 4.68.0 or higher before you roll out SecuRooms Drive 1.1.0 to the workstations.

Prerequisites for SecuRooms Drive users

Every user for whom the SecuRooms Drive is rolled out must meet the following criteria for a successful login:

• A user account on the SecuRooms server must exist.
• A valid FTAPI SecuRooms license must be available.
• The user must be in a group with the group permission "Access to SecuRooms Drive".

Automated installation (Enterprise rollout)

SecuRooms Drive supports automated installation for corporate environments. The installation is script-based via MSI and can be integrated into deployment tools and group policies.

SERVER_URL parameter

The SERVER_URL parameter defines the central server address to which all clients connect. This saves end users from having to manually enter the server address during the first start.

Example MSI installation via command line:

msiexec /i SecuRooms_Drive-latest.msi /qn SERVER_URL="https://[your_instance].ftapi.com"
