Microsoft Web Data Administration as a Service

Posted on March 7th, 2008 in software by Nairahost admin.

Installing Microsoft web data administration(MSWDA) on IIS as a Service is as straightforward as the manual instructs, if you need to install it on a Hosting Server as a Service.

Nairahost Administrators wanted the following.

1. MSWDA as a Service

2. MSWDA runned on a dedicated ip

3. Hosting accounts access to MSWDA using an A entry

This is what we did after installing MSWDA using the msi setup file.

1. We did not enable the IIS Service it came with as we wanted it to run under our ISS Server

2. We added a website and added all the Internet User permissions. This we did by pointing the Website to the Web Folder and leaving the Header variables Empty.

3. We modified the web.config file with the following while leaving the

authentication :mode=”Windows”

authorization: allow users=”?”

The rest of the modifications are a simply straightforward and default.
