Add a domain when using one application server with a local web server

To further clarify the configuration, we will add the insite.enyoi.nl web domain. Enter your own data here. We also use the Windows user enyoi.nl\updateservice.

You specify a domain in (no more than) three steps:

  1. Add a domain
  2. Add a web server to a domain and set up the connection with the web server
  3. Add virtual paths

    Note:

    This feature is only available in the Central Logon Environment.

To add a domain:

  1. Go to: General / In & OutSite / Configuration / Domain.
  2. Click on: New.
  3. Enter a value in Domain name.

    This is the web domain for which you have set up a certificate (in IIS) and on which InSite is available via the internet.

    Note:

    The link to the web domain must be the same as the link from the SSL certificate. If that is not the case, a message about a certificate error appears when the user tries to log on.

    In this example this is insite.enyoi.nl.

  4. Enter the description.
  5. Select the InSite portal portal type.
  6. Select the Link domain directly to web server check box.
  7. Click on: Finish.

    Now you can immediately link a (new) web server to the domain.

  9. In Server name, enter the name of the web server. The server name must be unique in the Windows domain.

    Using the following steps, you can find the server name on the web server:

    1. Click on: the Windows Start button.
    2. Right-click on Computer.
    3. Open the properties.

      You now see the server name.

  10. Enter a description so you can easily recognise the server in the view.
  11. In Type of web server, select the IIS version you use on the web server.

    The IIS version depends on the operating system:

    • Windows Server 2008: IIS7.0
    • Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7: IIS7.5
  12. Click on: Next.
  13. Enter a value in Address.

    Note:

    The address is the location where the files of the site are placed. This is a //share or a direct location. If Profit is installed on only one web server, you enter a direct location.

    If you are working with a separate application server, the files must be accessible on the web server through a share.

    In Address, enter the folder where you want to publish the web files. Use a UNC folder (starts with '\\), for example:

    \\Servernaam\Webfiles

    Ins_Domein toevoegen

    This folder does not have to be a share one. This is only required for a separate web server. If you use a share, the user must have Profitcom (the user with whom the Profit Update Service is started) modify rights.

  14. Click on: the search buttons and browse to the location where you want to save the web files.

    Note:

    At this location the local system account must have change rights.

  15. Click on: OK.
  16. Select a value for Update service: Default update service.
  17. Click on: Finish.
