Installing the SPML Web Service

IMPORTANT: Start the SPML web service installation locally on the server.

To install the SPML web service

  1. Launch autorun.exe from the root directory of the One Identity Manager installation medium.

  2. Go to the Installation tab and select the entry Web based components and click Install. Starts the Web Installer.

  3. On the Web Installer start page, select Install SPML web service and click Next.

  4. On the Database connection page, enter the connection data for the One Identity Manager database and click Next.

  5. On the Select setup target page, configure the following settings and click Next.
    Table 192: 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.

  6. Specify the user account for automatic updating of the application server on the Set update credentials page.

    The user account is used to add or replace files in the application directory.

    • Set Use IIS credentials for update, if you want to use the user account that is running the application for updates.

    • Set Use other credentials for updates, if you want to use another user account and enter the domain, user name, and password for the user.

  7. Installation progress is displayed on the Setup is running page. Once installation is complete, click Next.

    The Web Installer generates the web application and the corresponding configuration files (web.config) for each folder.

  8. Click Finish on the last page to end the program.

Configuring the SPML web service

The SPML web service configuration is found in the web.config XML file in the installation directory. You can use any text editor to edit this file.

NOTE:

  • After the default installation, make any changes required to the AuthenticationString in the configuration\application.

  • Generate the QOIM_Schema.xsd and QOIM_SpmlTargetSchema.xsd schema files with the Designer‘s Schema Editor. For more information, see Creating schema files. Save the schema files to the SPML web service directory and declare the storage location of the schema files in the configuration file using the ProviderSchema and SpmlTargetSchema options. The files are saved by default to the Schemas directory in the installation directory.

  • If the SPML web service should only be available over an encoded SSL connection, configure this in the Internet Information Services setting for each respective application. Look at your Internet Information Services documentation for further information.
