1919## Installation
20- For installing the vulnerable version follow the steps below,
20+ The software requires a version of MSSQL Server to be installed. The installation
21+ instructions use MSSQL Server 2012, but 2016 and 2017 worked for my setup. Ensure that
22+ ` SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode ` is selected as the default for
23+ server authentication. This can either be done at installation or via
24+ SQL Server Management Studio, available from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms .
25+
26+ 1 . Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the instance
27+ 2 . Right click on the instance and select ` Properties `
28+ 3 . Click the ` Security ` page
29+ 4 . Underneath ` Server Authentication ` , select ` SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode ` and ` Ok ` .
30+ 5 . Open SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for MSSQLSERVER -> TCP/IP
31+ Change from Disable to Enabled.
32+ 6 . SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Services -> Stop all Services -> Start just the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service.
33+ 7 . Go back to SQL Server Management Studio.
34+ 8 . Security -> Logins -> sa -> Right click -> Select Properties -> Status -> Toggle Login to Enabled -> Ok
35+ 9 . Execute the following SQL statement in SQL Server Management Studio: ` ALTER LOGIN sa WITH PASSWORD = 'theSAUser123'; `
36+ 10 . You should now be able to run the installer and set the hostname to ` 127.0.0.1 ` ,
37+ set the username to ` sa ` , and the password to ` theSAUser123 ` .
38+ 11 . Now you can proceed to installing the Ivanti Avalanche MDM software.
39+
40+ For installing the vulnerable Ivanti Avalanche MDM version follow the steps below,
21411 . To obtain the vulnerable versions of the MDM setup, first create a customer account at
2242[ Ivanti] ( https://success.ivanti.com/customers/Community_RegStep1_Page?lp=register ) (trial license is sufficient)
