About This Guide As a result of the transition of support services for the CSA National Applications (SEDI, NRD, and SEDAR) from CDS to CGI as of January 13, 2014, certain changes have been made to the SEDAR desktop client. This document provides guidance in the follow areas: 1. In the past, revisions to the SEDAR client have occurred through downloadable software updates to the existing installed client. For all SEDAR users attempting to use SEDAR for the first time as of January 27, the legacy client must be completely removed, and replaced with a new client. 2. Some firms may need to make firewall changes in order for the new SEDAR client to access the SEDAR system (which will now be hosted on different IP addresses). 3. When installing the new SEDAR client on the user s workstation there will be a need for firsttime installation, code update and configuration to each production workstation. 4. Contact information is provided for support services and or to obtain answers to questions during the user-workstation installation process. SEDAR Client Installation Guide 2 January 27 2014
Assumptions This installation procedure assumes: You are familiar with the Windows environment. You know how to configure system files, install and uninstall software. Date Format Synchronization The date format in the SEDAR client must remain at the default setting of mm/dd/yyyy, and the Windows environment must match this same date format in the Region / Short Date settings. Failure to do this may cause the SEDAR client to misinterpret dates entered on cover page 2 of certain filing types where a financial period or meeting date is required. For example, a date of 01/10/2013 may be interpreted as October 1, 2013 instead of January 10, 2013. This date format synchronization should be confirmed before you start using the SEDAR client.

Before You Begin the Installation Test of the SEDAR Client Before beginning the installation on any workstation, ensure that you have the proper workstation setup as well as the minimum hardware, software and Internet connectivity needed to run SEDAR. Workstation Setup Prepare your workstation as follows: Ensure that your workstation, where SecureClient is installed, does not have any other VPN client (e.g. Cisco VPN client) software installed. Your workstation must not be in the subnet of 172.17.32.0. If a personal or corporate firewall is installed on your workstation, it must be configured so that IPSec and IKE ports are not blocked. If Internet gateways (e.g. Netgear, Linksys or D-Link) are used, ensure that IPSec and IKE ports are not blocked. Ensure that the firewall allows you to download the SEDAR installation executable file. The file size is approximately 55 MB for Windows 7/Vistaand approximately 157.5 MB for Windows XP (due to a different version of Checkpoint VPN client). The SEDAR installation must be run under the administrator user account. This is a requirement for the IBM WebSphere MQ Series software, which is installed as part of the overall SEDAR installation. Hardware Requirements To install SEDAR on a workstation, the following hardware is required: Windows XP Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended) At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM (128 MB is recommended) At least 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available space on the hard disk CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse or some other compatible pointing device Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution Sound card Speakers or headphones Windows 7 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) SEDAR Client Installation Guide 4 January 27 2014

Additional Installation Test Information Reconfiguration of Firewalls Some firms may need to reconfigure their firewalls and proxy servers to allow the VPN client and/or SEDAR client to access the production SEDAR system. These changes must be made prior to deploying the new SEDAR client to the users workstations. The required IP and DNS addresses for the SEDAR client are: SEDAR Client DNS mq.sedar.com SEDAR Client IP 1 142.101.50.160 SEDAR Client IP 2 142.101.199.211 The required IP and DNS addresses for the VPN client are: VPN Client DNS vpn.sedar.com VPN Client IP 1 64.254.29.150 VPN Client IP 2 64.254.22.48 The required ports for the VPN client are: UDP 259 - RDP (necessary only for MEP resolving and dynamic interface resolving) TCP 264 - Topology download TCP 443 - In Visitor Mode, all VPN traffic is tunneled through port 443 UDP 500 - IKE TCP 500 - IKE over TCP IP protocol 50 - ESP (the actual encrypted data; not necessary to allow this, if using UDP encapsulation) UDP 2746 - UDP encapsulation (encapsulates protocol 50 ESP packets) UDP 4500 - NAT-T port for industry standard udp encapsulation SEDAR Client Installation Guide 20 January 27 2014
Post Installation Production Code Update and Configuration This section of the document discusses the steps necessary to follow when loading the new SEDAR client onto a user s workstation. After a successful installation of the new SEDAR client and restart of the workstation, the SEDAR client is ready to be launched for the first time. Prior to using the SEDAR client on a user s workstation, there are a few initial setup steps that must be completed. Note: These steps are specific to each workstation and must be done after installation. That is, they cannot be part of a standard disk image or push installation process. Note: If using VPN Connect, establish the connection now before proceeding to the First-time Execution steps below. To start VPN Connect go to Windows Start, click All Programs, then click SEDAR, then click VPN Connect. First-time Execution of the SEDAR Client 1. To launch the SEDAR client, click on the SEDAR.EXE shortcut icon that the installation process placed on the workstation s desktop. 2. The first screen will simply announce the first-time configuration. Click OK to continue. SEDAR Client Installation Guide 21 January 27 2014
3. On the next screen, the SEDAR client will prompt the user for their current login credentials (Userid and Password) as well as requiring that a new Password be entered. Leave the checkbox at the bottom unchecked or you will be prompted for credentials every time you save data. Note: This is a standard step that must be done following the installation of the SEDAR client, even if you are not a first-time user and/or another version of the SEDAR client has been used on the same workstation in the past. Note: At this point, the SEDAR client will need to access the SEDAR server and database. If the connection cannot be made, you may see any or all of the following messages. Before contacting Technical Support, please ensure any required firewall changes (see page 20 above) have been made. SEDAR Client Installation Guide 22 January 27 2014
