Creating the web site
Create a folder where the UMRA web site files will be stored. In this example this folder is: E:\UMRA\web site.
Start the Internet Information Service Manager, browse to the computer and right click option web sites. Select menu option New, web site…. Follow the wizard instructions to setup a basic web site.
Figure 8: Enter any description of the web site.
The description of the web site is not that important. Just enter some text and click Next to continue.
Figure 9: Specify the TCP port to be used by the web site.
In the IP Address and Port Settings window you can accept the default options, except for the TCP port which the web site should use. Each web site running on the computer must have a unique port number. The default web site that is automatically installed uses port 80. In order to use port 80 by default, you must first stop the default web site to prevent port conflicts.
In the example shown above, port 81 is entered. Click Next to continue with the web site home directory specification.
Figure 10: Enter the home directory of the web site. The directory must exist but does not have to contain any files yet.
Enter the name of the folder that is going to contain the web site ASP and HTML files. In the example shown, this folder is E:\UMRA\web site. The folder needs to exist but does not need to contain any files yet. Click Next to continue with the configuration of the web site Access Permissions.
Figure 11: Specify the permissions of the new web site.
You need to specify the Read and Run scripts permissions. The Run scripts permissions are required to allow ASP pages to run. You can specify additional permissions but this is not required. Click Next to complete the web site Creation Wizard. The web site is now created as shown in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Figure 12: The new web site is created and shown in the Internet Information Services Manager.
Finally, you need to configure the authentication method for the web site. In order to be able to check the access rights, the ASP pages must be executed in the security context of the end-user running the browser. Right click the web site and select Properties. Select Directory security and click the Edit… button in the Authentication and access control section.
Figure 13: Specify the Authentication method: Disable anonymous access and enable integrated Windows authentication.
Disable the option Enable anonymous access and enable option Integrated Windows authentication. Click OK twice to exit the configuration.
You can always change one of the web site configuration options at a later stage by right-clicking the web site and selecting the Properties command.
