Rapport for network administrators

This page describes features relevant to the deployment of Rapport on multiple computers - inside and organization, a network or otherwise.

Installer command line flags

Rapport setup is based on Microsoft© msi technology. Like every msi based installation the installer gets command line parameters through the msi properties mechanism. The following properties are supported :

  • NOBROWSER - When set to true then doesn't open a post install/uninstall page
  • NOICONS - Don't install Rapport shortcuts in the start menu
  • NOSHUTDOWN - Don't try to shutdown Rapport (if Rapport runs)

Both the bootstrapper (RapportSetup.exe) and the full installer (RapportSetup-Full.exe) support passing parameters to the msi they control. The following command line flags are supported :

  • '/s' - Silent installation. Must be the first parameter
  • '/p <list of properties>' - Properties to pass on to the msi

For example, if we want to start a silent installation without installing shortcuts then we need to execute the command : RapportSetup-Full.exe /s /p NOICONS=true

Network Configuration

Rapport needs to access the internet in order to check and download configuration and code updates regularly. Additionally, it sends security alerts and error reports to Trusteer. Rapport uses HTTP, HTTPS and DNS for outside communication.

You can check Rapport's connectivity through the Rapport console by opening the console (Start > All programs > Trusteer Rapport > Rapport Console), clicking "more settings" and then clicking "Check for updates now". If there are any connectivity problem, you will see a message redirecting you to the Rapport connection settings where you can add proxy details.
