This document describes the recommended configurations to make after IguanaX has been installed and licensed on your machine.

IguanaX has a web interface that makes remote administration and monitoring easy.

Configuration changes can be made in either:

Change the Default Web Port: Iguana’s web server uses port 7654 by default. This must be changed if already in use by another Iguana instance or application.

Personalize the Web Server: Distinguish your Iguana instance by labelling it with a unique description and colour, making it easier to manage multiple servers.

Enable HTTPS for the Web Server: Add another layer of security over your data by using HTTPS to encrypt the data transmitted between the web server and your web browser. This ensures confidential data remains private and changes made within the Dashboard are secure. Follow the instructions for how to enable HTTPS for the web server.

You can control and manage Iguana user access through two methods:

  1. Iguana's Users and Roles Permission System: Create defined users and access roles directly within Iguana to control user access.

  2. External Authentication: Integrate Iguana with an external authentication system, such as Active Directory via LDAP.

IguanaX uses Git to support instance and integration management. By setting up Iguana to interact with a local or cloud Git service you can:

  • Backup and store your IguanaX configurations and integrations in external repositories

  • Collaborate efficiently and track changes on Iguana and your integration projects

  • Safely deploy integrations from development, test, to production

  • Quickly standardize implementations as you create common libraries and collections

Iguana’s Logs contain service information, user activity, and all transactions which can contain sensitive data. Log configuration and management is crucial as the logs are integral to Iguana's operations.

Automate monitoring of Iguana and your integrations using Iguana’s notification system.
