Installation of Microsoft IIS
Install server role
Start the server manager to install the Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2012.
- Click Start, point to Administrative Tools and choose Server Manager.
- Click Roles Summary
- Click Add Roles.
- Use the "Add Roles" wizard to add the web server role
By using the "Add Roles" wizard the default set of role services gets installed, which do not fit the requirements for UBIK® web services. Therefore additional IIS role services, such as Application Development or Health and Diagnostics, needs to be installed by selectint the check boxes associated with those features in the "Select Role Services" page of the wizard.
Optional:
A physical server with Microsoft Server 2012 can be used as the host system as well as a virtual server. For example, use Hyper-V to install and operate serveral virtual servers.
Configuration of the Web Server
UBIK® Web Service requires additional features
- Microsoft. NET Framework 4
- Roles / Feature. NET Framework 3.5.1 feature
Add Application Pool
Within an application pool it is defined which (parts of) web site and work process(es) will be delivered - ultimately this means that an application pool defines who is responsible for the processing of one (or several) URL(s).
Certificate
We need a certificate that guarantees us the security of the connection and recognition of authorized mobile devices. After the creation of the certificate on the server, it must be exported using the export function. Our developers need this certificate to integrate it into our mobile application.
Bindings
Now we create a binding, so we get the correct certificate to access to our IIS service from external.
Create new Web Service
Testing the new service
Optional
Local IIS-User
This member is necessary because it allows the external clients to have access to the IIS user entitle folder.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Is an older Microsoft Server version used, install the .NET Framework 4.
