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
Installation and Configuration Guide.
