Dovetail Seeker requires IIS 7 or greater. It also requires that certain IIS features be enabled and add-ons installed and configured. Please follow this guide to ensure that your IIS web server is setup correctly.
Server Role and Features
Ensure that your Windows Server has the Web Server (IIS) role installed and the following features enabled.
Application Development: ASP.Net and .Net Extensibility.
Management Tools: IIS 6 Management Compatibility
Install and configure Application Request Routing
Dovetail Seeker exposes a few APIs for public use. These APIs need to be proxied so that only they are exposed to public Internet users. Dovetail Seeker uses Application Request Routing to do this.
Install the Web Platform Installer (WPI). Note: your server may already have WPI installed.
To check, open IIS Manager.
Click on your root IIS server node (has the server name as the title)
Double click on Management -> Web Platform Installer.
Search the Web Platform Installer for Application Request Routing.
Add Application Request Routing 3.0 or greater.
Click on your root IIS server node (has the server name as the title)
Double click on IIS -> Application Request Routing
Click on Server Proxy Settings... inthe right sidebar.
Click Enable proxy to turn on ARR's ability to proxy.
De-select Enable disk cache to turn off caching as it is not needed.
