Configure IIS Application Pool and Authentication

After you have installed the MediaFrame software, you need to configure the IIS
application pool and authentication.

The MediaFrameWebAPI web site must run with administrative privileges because
it makes event log entries. There are two ways to accomplish this; either configure
the default application pool to run as an account with administrative privileges, or
create a new application pool with administrative privileges and set the
MediaFrameWebAPI web site to run with this application pool. The instructions
provided are for the second method.

1. Open

Internet Information Services Manager

.

2. Navigate to the

Application Pools

tab.

3. Right-click on the

Application Pools

and select

New | Application Pool

.

4. Provide a name for the application pool, and check the radio button which reads

Use existing application pool as template

; ensure the application pool in the drop

down box is

DefaultAppPool

.

5. Right-click on the new application pool and select

Properties

.

6. Click on the

Identity

tab.

7. Select the

Configurable

radio button and enter credentials for an account with

administrative privileges and click

OK

.

NOTE: This account must also be a member of the IIS_WPG group. For
more information on adding users to groups, see the Aurora Browse
