Select the security option based on the following descriptions:Option Description AssetTrack security This is the default security setting. AssetTrack security allows you to control access to AssetTrack using AssetTrack's security model.

Use this setting if you do not have a Windows domain or you do not want AssetTrack users to be tied to Windows users.
Windows security Use Windows security if you want to associate AssetTrack users with users in an Active Directory domain. AssetTrack users will still need to be created, but once associated with a Windows user, users can use their domain credentials to access the server and the mobile. In addition, if these users are logged into their machines using their domain credentials, they will not have to log in separately to AssetTrack Server or the Management Console. - Click Next.

If the install was successful, AssetTrack displays an AssetTrack Server was installed successfully message.
