To Configure IIS

To ensure success, follow these recommendations:

Use HTTPS for AssetWise CONNECT Edition Asset Lifecycle Information Management. Contact your server administrator for a valid certificate.
IIS 7.5 or higher must be installed on the web server.
The certificate that is created on port 443 must contain the same domain that all the client applications use to reference the server.
For example:

Suppose a setup of servers with a *.bentleyhosting.com domain and a *.bentley.com domain. The certificate is only set up for *.bentley.com. Therefore, all connections between client and server must use *.bentley.com in the server reference.

Follow these steps to configure IIS for AssetWise CONNECT Edition Asset Lifecycle Information Management.

From the command line, enter the following:

Start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS-WebServer;IIS-CommonHttpFeatures;IIS-StaticContent;IIS-DefaultDocument;IIS-DirectoryBrowsing;IIS-HttpErrors;IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics;IIS-HttpLogging;IIS-LoggingLibraries;IIS-RequestMonitor;IIS-Security;IIS-RequestFiltering;IIS-HttpCompressionStatic;IIS-WebServerManagementTools;IIS-ManagementConsole;WAS-WindowsActivationService;WAS-ProcessModel;WAS-NetFxEnvironment;WAS-ConfigurationAPI;IIS-CGI

Enable .NET Extensibility version 3.5, in addition to either 4 or 4.5 (whichever exists).
Enable ASP.NET version 3.5, in addition to either 4 or 4.5 (whichever exists).
For IIS 8 or higher, select Server Roles, then browse to the Web Server (IIS) role > Web Server > Common HTTP Features, and ensure that Static Content is installed. For example,

Note: For more information regarding IIS 7.x, see http://weblogs.asp.net/anasghanem/don-t-forget-to-check-quot-static-content-service-quot-in-iis7-installation.
Select your server in the Connections tree, then add a MIME Type, with a .json file extension

Note: For more information about adding MIME Types in IIS, see http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/staticcontent/mimemap .
You can apply compression to IIS to significantly reduce the size of JSON response files and thus improve performance. For more information, see Applying Compression to JSON Response Files.
