Install UBIK Web Service

This page describes how to set up an IIS server and a web service for UBIK^® on MS Server 2008 R2. The web service is used to publish data from the UBIK^® database to a mobile device (eg mobile phone, tablet).

Installation of Microsoft IIS

Resources

A physical server with MS Server 2008 R2 is used as the host system. On this server, the Hyper-V role is installed to operate at several virtual servers . However, a virtual server can have different operating systems. But in our case we need also an MS-Server2008 R2 installation.

Install role

To install the Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2008 R2, start the server manager.

Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
Click Roles Summary, click Add Roles.
Use the "Add Roles" wizard to add the Web Server role.

When you use the Add Roles Wizard to install IIS, you get the default installation, which has a minimum set of role services. If you need additional IIS role services, such as Application Development or Health and Diagnostics, make sure to select the check boxes associated with those features in the Select Role Services page of the wizard.

Configuration of the web server

For UBIK webservice we need additional features to make it properly and smoothly.

Add Application Pool

Within an application pool is defined which (parts of) web site and which 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.
