The IPSentry IPSX Dashboard may be hosted under Internet Information Services (IIS) for content delivery.

The following document requires the following actions having been completed as well as knowledge of IIS configuration under Windows XP.

1. You have installed IPSentry 5.12.202 or later.
2. You have already installed Internet Information Services (IIS)
3. You have installed IPSentry IPSX Dashboard.
4. You have configured the IPSentry IPSX Dashboard using the IPSX Dashboard Configuration Wizard.

Step 1 - Add the appropriate MIME types to IIS

By default, the file extensions for Silverlight application files such as .xap and .xaml are unrecognized by IIS.  In order to host and deliver these files with the appropriate headers, you will need to add these file extensions as MIME Types in IIS.

• Launch the IIS snap-in

• Select the default web site node and right mouse click. Select Properties

• In the HTTP Headers tab, click the File Types button and add the following entries by clicking on "New Type".
  
  Associated Extension: .xap
  Content type (MIME:): application/x-silverlight-app
  
  Associated Extension: .xaml
  Content type (MIME:): application/xaml+xml
  
  Associated Extension: .xbap
  Content type (MIME:): application/x-ms-xbap

Step 2 - Create a virtual directory for accessing IPSX Dashboard - Optional

• While in the IIS snap-in, select the default web site node and right mouse click, select New, Virtual Directory

• Click Next

• Enter "IPSentryIPSX" or other name by which you want to reference the virtual directory.   This value will be added to your URL path in order to access the IPSX web site.
  For example:  http://127.0.0.1/IPSentryIPSX/

• Click Next

• Select the directory in which you installed IPSentry IPSX.   The default location is C:\IPSentryIPSXDashboard\webroot. 
  If you installed IPSX to a different location, enter that location in the Directory field or click Browse to locate the folder.

• Click Next

• For access permissions, the default of "Read" and "Run scripts" is required. - Click Next

• Click Finish

• Select the newly created virtual directory node and right mouse click, select Properties

• Select the "ASP.NET" tab.

• In the "ASP.NET version, select 4.0.30319 in order to insure this virtual directory makes use of .NET 4

• Click "Apply"

• Select the "Documents" tab.
  Insure that "Enable Default Document" is selected then click "ADD"
  Enter "default.aspx" in the default document name field and click "OK"

• Click "OK"

Step 3 -  Configuring ASP.NET on IIS for .NET Framework 4

The following actions need only be performed once in order to register ASP.NET 4.0 with IIS

• Open a command prompt and navigate to the following directory
  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
  
  
• Run the following command:  aspnet_regiis -lv
  
• You should see something like this:
  4.09.301319.0  Valid (Root)  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
  
• If you do not see the "Valid (Root)" entry for 4.0.30319.0
     issue the following commands
       aspnet_regiis -i -enable
       iisreset
  

Step 4 - Configuring access rights to the IPSentry application folder

• The user account under which the IPSentry IPSX web site is accessed must have Read/Write access to the following folder:
  [webroot]\App_Data
  [IPSentry application path]
  [IPSentry application path]\IPSDataRoot
  
  [webroot] is the location to which you installed IPSentry IPSX (default= c:\IPSentryIPSXDashboard\webroot )
  [IPSentry application path] is the location to which you installed IPSentry. (default=c:\program files\rge inc\ipsentryv5\ )
  
  Under Windows XP, give (M)odify rights to the local computer "Users" group to the above folders.
  

 You should now be able to access the dashboard at http://computername/IPSentryIPSX/
