Prerequisites

The following items are minimum requirements for successful installation and deployment of the Open PQ Dashboard.

Note: The openXDA service and PQ Dashboard both require mixed mode authentication to be enabled on the SQL Server instance where the openXDA database is installed. This setting can be selected during SQL Server installation and is turned off by default. If your instance is configured to allow only Windows authenticated users or if you are unsure whether mixed mode authentication is enabled, refer to the following link for instructions on how to modify the setting: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188670.aspx.

Also note, the default configuration of IIS does not include the ASP.NET 4.5 or Windows Authentication features which are both required by the PQ Dashboard. These features should be enabled before attempting to install the PQ Dashboard.
