How to: Install and Configure Internet Information Services for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client

  • Статья

This topic describes how to install and configure Internet Information Service (IIS) for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. To deploy the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, you install the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server components on a computer that running IIS 7.5, IIS 8.0, IIS 8.0, or IIS 10.0. A website for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client is installed on the IIS.

IIS must have the following features enabled:

  • HTTP Activation

  • NET Extensibility 4.5, .NET Extensibility 4.6, or .NET Extensibility 4.6 (depending on Windows version)

  • ASP.NET 4.5, ASP.NET 4.6, or ASP.NET 4.7 (depending on Windows version)

  • ISAPI Extensions

  • ISAPI Filters

  • Request Filtering

  • Windows Authentication

  • Default Document

  • Directory Browsing

  • HTTP Errors

  • Static Content

Important

If you are hosting the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server components on an IIS server farm that is using Application Request Routing (ARR), see Configure Headers in Application Request Routing (ARR) Rules.

Tip

Instead of manually installing IIS, you can use the Dynamics NAV Setup wizard to install and enable the IIS features. For more information, see Using Microsoft Dynamics NAV Setup to Install IIS Features.

Install IIS on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10

  1. On the Start page, choose Control Panel, and then choose Programs.

  2. Under Programs and Features, choose Turn Windows features on or off.

    The Windows features dialog box appears.

  3. Expand the root-level item .NET Framework 4.5 Advanced Services, .NET Framework 4.6 Advanced Services, or .NET Framework 4.7 Advanced Services, and then do the following:

    • Select ASP.NET 4.5, ASP.NET 4.6, or ASP.NET 4.7.

    • Expand WCF Services, and then select HTTP Activation.

  4. Expand the root-level item Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (including .NET 2.0 and 3.0), and then select Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation.

    Note

    The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (including .NET 2.0 and 3.0) item is only available if.NET Framework 3.50 is installed. If the item is not shown, then there is no action for this step.

  5. Expand the root-level item Internet Information Services, expand World Wide Web Services, and then do the following:

    1. Expand Application Development Features, and select the following features:

      • .NET Extensibility 3.5 (if .NET Framework 3.5 is installed)

    The default website opens and should display an IIS image.

Configure Headers in Application Request Routing (ARR) Rules

Dynamics NAV Web Server runs on ASP .NET Core, which requires both an X-Forwarded-For header and X-Forwarded-Proto header in ARR routing rules. However, by default, ARR only adds the X-Forwarded-For header; not the X-Forwarded-Proto header. So will have to configure the X-Forwarded-Proto header manually.

On the server farm in IIS, add or edit a routing rule to include a server variable for X-Forwarded-Proto. For example, using IIS Manager, select Routing Rules > URL Rewrite > Edit > Server Variables, and then add a server variable that has the following settings:

Name Value Replace
HTTP_X_FORWARED_PROTO http ot https true
