Table 34: Settings for the installation target Setting Description Application name Name used as application name, as in the title bar of the browser, for example. Target in IIS Internet Information Services web page on which to install the application. Enforce SSL Specifies whether insecure websites are available for installation. If the option is set, only sites secured by SSL can be used for installing. This setting is the default value. If this option is not set, insecure websites can be used for installing. URL
The application's Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Install dedicated application pool Specifies whether an application pool is installed for each application. This allows applications to be set up independently of one another. If this option is set, each application is installed in its own application pool.
Application pool The application pool to use. This can only be entered if the Install dedicated application pool option is not set.
If you use the DefaultAppPool default value, the application pool has the following syntax:
<application name>_POOL
Identity Permissions for executing an application pool. You can use a default identity or a custom user account.
If you use the ApplicationPoolIdentity default value, the user account has the following syntax:
IIS APPPOOL\<application name>_POOL
You can authorize another user by clicking ... next to the box, enabling the Custom account option and entering the user and password.
Web authentication Specifies the type for authentication against the web application. You have the following options:
- Windows authentication (single sign-on)
The user is authenticated against the Internet Information Services using their Windows user account and the web application logs in the employee assigned to the user account as role-based. If single sign-on is not possible, the user is diverted to a login page. You can only select this authentication method if Windows authentication is installed.
- Anonymous
Login is possible without Windows authentication. The user is authenticated against the Internet Information Services and the web application anonymously, and the web application is directed to a login page.
Database authentication NOTE: You can only see this section if you have selected a SQL database connection on the Database connection page.
Specifies the type for authentication against the One Identity Manager database. You have the following options:
- Windows authentication
The web application is authenticated against the One Identity Manager database with the same Windows user account that your application pool uses. Login is possible with a user-defined user account or a default identity for the application pool.
- SQL authentication
Authentication is completed with a SQL Server login and password. The SQL Server login from the database connection is used. Use the [...] button to enter a different SQL login, for example, if the application is executed with a access level for end users. This access data is saved in the web application configuration as computer specific encrypted.
- Windows authentication (single sign-on)

NOTE: If you would like to use the full text search in the Web Portal, then you must specify an application server. You can enter the application server in the configuration file at a later date.
NOTE: If using Windows authentication and the application server is located on a different host to that of the Web Portal, or if the application server uses a different user account for the application pool to that used by the Web Portal, then some further Active Directory settings must be configured (e.g. a Kerberos delegation).
