NOTE 1: Only certificates with RSA signature algorithm are supported. CNG certificates are not supported.
This certificate can be different from the certificate you selected while creating a website.
NOTE 2: It is recommended to create a new certificate if the machine name is changed, each machine name must have a unique certificate, you can import and set the certificates as default. |
Project Name | (Only available on Server installation) Allows you to select a project from a list of projects for linking to a web application. However, you can also create a web application without a project linked to it.
NOTE: If a stopped/outdated project is linked to a web application, you cannot work with the Windows App Client. |
User | Browse and select a web application user using the Select User dialog box.
NOTE 1: The web application user should be a member of IIS_IUSRS group. If you select a user who is not a member of the IIS_IUSRS group, the SMC prompts you to add the user to that group.
The user must also have Allow log on locally as Service right set. For more information, refer Cannot Create or Save Website in Troubleshooting Websites and Web Applications
NOTE 2: You can create a web application with a user different from the website user.
NOTE 3: The web application user on a Client/FEP must be added in the list of allowed users in the Project Shares expander of the Server project that you want to link to the web application (see Modifying the Server Project Parameters, Step 6. Otherwise, the user cannot work with virtual directories (graphics, libraries, documents, shared, and devices folders) inside the Server project folder. For example, the user will not be able to save saving a graphics object in the graphics folder, and so on.
NOTE 4:(Only applicable for projects in distribution) If the project that you are about to link is in distribution with other projects, all the projects in distribution with the linked project must be shared with the web application user. For example, if a WebApp1 is linked to a project P1 which is in distribution with a project P2, the WebAppUser1 should have access rights on the Project P1 and Project P2 both. |
