Install UBIK Web Service

This page describes how to set up an Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) and for a UBIK^® web service on Microsoft Server 2012. The web service is used to publish data from the UBIK^® database to a mobile device (eg mobile phone, tablet).

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.

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.
