Configuration UBIK Archon

Firewall settings

Firewall and Router settings must adapted so the Archon service can be accessible from outside of the IIS Server

A New Inbound rule must be created in the IIS Server "Firewall Settings", using the same "Port" as the one specified in the website "Binding" settings.
A new Port forwarding rule must also be added in the Router "Firewall Settings" using the same "Port" as the one specified in the website "Binding" settings.

Usam

Usam must be configured by adding the necessary value to the UBIK Service Archon Url key in the AppSettings.config file

Example:

Connecting UBIK Archon with USAM

The UBIK Archon service has to be connected to the USAM service. This must be done only once for each Database. This can be achieved using a URL schema, the user has to provide hostname:port/path to Usam service/ the method "register" and the parameter "secret" (the "secret" parameter is the password selected by the user). This URL registers the UBIK Archon service on the USAM and the USAM on the Archon service.

Example using Postman Get:

https://hostname:port/PathToUsam/USAM.svc/register/secret

Every USAM should have its own "secret" on the Archon because only one USAM is allowed per "secret".

The "secret" is saved encrypted in the UBIK Database.
