All-time Practices: Setting Up Your Spider web Server 2012 or 2012 R2

This department guides yous in all-time practices in setting up a Web Server for installation of European monetary system web-based products. It's intended for experienced System Administrators.

Nosotros can only provide instructions for modifying your spider web server as tested in our facilities, and cannot guarantee results for your configuration. After completing these modifications, you volition need to perform your own adjustments to organization security etc.

Before you start the installation process, review European monetary system Organisation Requirements. You must meet the minimum hardware requirements to go on with the configuration below. To enable the roles and features listed for each Windows Server, you need administrative rights.

This topic provides information on the following:

  • To Install .NET Framework 3.5
  • To Install .Internet Framework 4.5: Regics Only
  • To Install Net Information Services (IIS)
    • To Add Part Services
  • Windows Server 2012/2012 R2
    • To Add together Office Services

To Install .NET Framework iii.five

  1. Navigate to Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools >Server Manager.
  2. In the Server Manager interface, clickFeatures to view all the installed Features in the right pane.
  3. In the Server Manager interface, selectAdd Features to list possible features.
  4. In the Select Features interface, expand.NET Framework 3.5.1 Features.
  5. Select.NET Framework iii.5.1 and clickNext.
  1. In the Confirm Installation Selections interface, review the selections, then clickInstall.
  2. Once the installation process completes, clickClose.

To Install .NET Framework 4.5: Regics Only

Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 does not have a built-in option to install .Internet Framework 4.five. In order to install .Internet Framework iv.5, the Server Administrator volition need to download the post-obit redistributable to the server and install it following the instructions.

To Install Internet Data Services (IIS)

The Spider web Server (IIS) role in Windows Server 2012 provides a secure, easy-to-manage, modular and extensible platform for reliably hosting websites, services, and applications.

To install IIS on a Windows Server 2008, follow the instructions below.

  1. Navigate toStart > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Server Manager.
  1. In the Server Manager window, scroll downwardly toRoles Summary, and then clickAdd Roles.
  2. SelectWeb Server (IIS) on the Select Server Roles folio. An introductory folio opens with links to more data.

To Add Role Services

When calculation IIS using the Add Roles Wizard, merely the default installation is executed, which has a minimum fix of office services. For EMS products, information technology is necessary to add role services for the programs to role properly. If function services are added afterward installing IIS, the Server Administrator will demand to navigate to the Role Services page. To do this, follow the above directions and then click Next.

Select the following IIS Role Services to be installed:

  • Common HTTP Features
  • Application Development
  • Health and Diagnostics
  • Security
  • Functioning
  • Management Tools

Common HTTP Features

  1. Static Content – Lets the Web server publish static Spider web file formats, such as HTML pages and prototype files. Apply Static Content to publish files on a Spider web server that users can then view using a Spider web browser.
  2. Default Certificate – Lets organizations configure a default file for the Web server to return when users do not specify a file in a URL. Default documents make it easier and more user-friendly for users to achieve an organizations Web site.
  3. HTTP Errors – Lets organizations customize the fault letters returned to users' browsers when the Spider web server detects a fault condition. Use HTTP errors to give users a improve user experience when they sew together confronting an error bulletin. Consider providing users with an e-mail address for staff who can help them resolve the mistake.

Application Evolution

  1. ASP.NET – Provides a server side object-oriented programming environment for building Web sites and Web applications that use managed code. ASP.NET is not merely a new version of ASP. ASP.NET provides a robust infrastructure for building Web applications, and it has been completely re-architected to provide a highly productive programming experience based on the .NET Framework.
  2. .Internet Extensibility – Lets managed lawmaking developers change, add together, and extend Spider web server functionality in the request pipeline, the configuration, and the UI. Developers can employ the familiar ASP.NET extensibility model and rich .NET APIs to build Web Server features that are just as powerful as those written using the native C++ APIs.
  3. ISAPI (nternet Server Application Programming Interface) Extensions – Provides support for dynamic Web content evolution using ISAPI extensions. An ISAPI extension runs when requested, just similar any other static HTML file or dynamic ASP file. Since ISAPI applications are compiled code, they are processed much faster than ASP files or files that call COM+ components.
  4. ISAPI Filters – Provides back up for Web applications that use ISAPI filters. ISAPI filters are files that can extend or change the functionality provided by IIS. An ISAPI filter reviews every request made to the Web server, until the filter finds i that information technology needs to process.

Health and Diagnostics

  1. HTTP Logging – Provides logs site activeness for this server. When a loggable result (usually an HTTP transaction) occurs, IIS calls the selected logging module, which then writes to i of the logs stored in the file system of the Web server. These logs are kept in addition to those provided by the operating organization.
  2. Request Monitoring – Provides infrastructure to monitor Web application health by capturing data about HTTP requests in an IIS worker process. Administrators and developers can utilise Asking Monitor to understand which HTTP requests are executing in a worker procedure when the worker process has become unresponsive or very slow.

Security

  1. Windows Authentication – A low toll hallmark solution for internal Web sites. This hallmark scheme allows administrators in a Windows domain to take advantage of the domain infrastructure for authenticating users. Practise not use Windows authentication if users who must be authenticated access an organisation's website from behind firewalls and proxy servers.
  2. Request Filtering – Screens all incoming requests to the server and filters these requests based on rules set by the ambassador. Many malicious attacks share common characteristics, such as very long URLs, or requests for an unusual action. Filtering requests, tin attempt to reduce the impact of these types of attacks.

Operation

Static Content Pinch – Provides infrastructure to configure HTTP compression of static content. This provides more efficient use of bandwidth. Unlike dynamic responses, compressed static responses can be cached without degrading CPU resource.

Management Tools

IIS Management Console – Provides infrastructure to manage IIS by using a graphical user interface. IIS Director tin can be used to manage a local or remote Spider web server that runs IIS.

Windows Server 2012/2012 R2
