It provides an Active Directory compatible domain and allows deployment in Microsoft Active Directory based infrastructure. Furthermore, it supports authentication protocols LDAP, SAML and OpenID Connect.

1. Download the app appliance from the Univention App Catalog or with the direct links below:

   • VirtualBox image

   • VMware ESXi image

   • VMware Workstation image

   • KVM image

2. Import the app appliance to the desired hypervisor.

3. Follow the instructions in the setup wizard.

4. Register your app appliance.

Installation via Univention App Center

If there is already a deployment of UCS running, Rocket.Chat can easily be installed directly via the App Center.

Alternatively, the above mentioned app appliance can be setup and joined into an existing UCS deployment, called domain.
