Installing Vault on separate computer from IIS

Post by Mountain » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:02 pm

Hi. Can you provide me with instructions on how to install Vault on computer_A and configure IIS (for Vault) on computer_B?

Both computers are on the same LAN.

We simply want all internet traffic to go through computer_A for security reasons. We do not want to allow anonymous access to computer_B where Vault will be installed.

I assume we can point the IIS virtual directories to computer_B, but I'm sure that getting all the details right will require your help.

If it isn't possible to do what we want, is it possible to specify a location for the repository on another computer (UNC path or mapped network drive, etc.)?

Thanks!

We recommend that the Vault virtual directories be on the same machine as IIS.

The Vault database can be on another machin on the LAN. When you install Vault, just specify the name or IP address of the SQL Server where you want the sgvault database to be created.

The Vault Installer creates a user in SQL Server that will access the database, so if the database is on another machine, install Vault using a custom account for the IIS Process Model, or use SQL Server authentication.

See details in our Vault Installation Guide:
