Configure IIS Virtual Directories

To configure the IIS virtual directories:

  1. If the IIS Manager is not already open, open it: From the Start Menu, select Administrative Tools, then select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. Add and configure the EnableWeb virtual directory:
    1. In the IIS Manager’s left navigation tree, right-click Default Web Site and select Add Virtual Directory. The Add Virtual Directory window will appear.
      1. Edit the settings in the Add Virtual Directory window as follows:

        • Alias: enable

        • Physical path: <drive>:\Enterworks\EnableWeb

        • If Application user (pass-through authentication) does not appear above the Connect as button, click the Connect as button. The Connect As window will appear. Select Application user (pass-through authentication), then click OK to exit the window.

      2. Click the Test Settings button to verify the connection. The Test Connection window will open and report that the application pool identity is valid. Click Close to close the window and return to the Add Virtual Directory window.
      3. Click the OK button to exit the Add Virtual Directory window.
    2. In the IIS Manager’s left navigation tree, right-click the enable virtual directory and select Convert to Application. The Add Application window will appear. Configure it as follows:
      1. In the Application pool dropdown, select Enable2.
      2. Click the Test Settings button to verify the connection. The Test Connection window will open and report the status of the connection. Click Close to close the window and return to the Add Virtual Directory window.
      3. Click the OK button to exit the Add Application window.
  3. Add the Damroot virtual directory:
    1. In the IIS Manager’s left navigation tree, right-click Default Web Site and select Add Virtual Directory. The Add Virtual Directory window will appear.
      1. Edit the settings as follows:

        • Alias: damroot

        • Physical path: Open the file: 

          <drive>:\EnableWeb\Web.config

          Set Physical path to the value of DamAssetPath, for example: 

          <drive>:\Enterworks\Damroot

        • If Application user (pass-through authentication) does not appear above the Connect as button, click the Connect as button. The Connect As window will appear. Select Application user (pass-through authentication), then click OK to exit the window.

      2. Click the Test Settings button to verify the connection. The Test Connection window will open and report that the application pool identity is valid. If Damroot is stored on a UNC path to a shared folder, the Pass-through authentication will be verified, but a message will appear that says the Path cannot be verified. That is expected and is not a problem. Click Close to close the window and return to the Add Virtual Directory window.
      3. Click the OK button to exit the Virtual Directory window.

        • Physical path: <drive>:\Enterworks\IISProxy

        • If Application user (pass-through authentication) does not appear above the Connect as button, click the Connect as button. The Connect As window will appear. Select Application user (pass-through authentication), then click OK to exit the window.
