To install the VWSC website on a remote IIS server, you will need to create a website installer bundle first. The creation and installation of the website installer bundle is covered as part of the Velocity installation by following the steps below.
Install Velocity Web Service and Create Website Bundle
In the Velocity Web Services Client Installer window:
Select the Install Velocity Web Service only (Integration support) option and check the Create Website bundle for separate machine checkbox.
Enter the Windows account credentials to be used for the Velocity Web Service. Then, click Next as shown.
For example, specify a Windows account name of "DOMAIN_NAME\VelocityServices" along with the password for the account.
The Velocity Web Services Client Installer will check your system for prerequisites required to install the Velocity Web Service.
On the Service and Website Settings screen, you will need to first select a communication mode of “HTTP (Deprecated)” (non-secure) or “HTTPS (Recommended)” (secure). You can then select the default port number of 2026 or specify a different value. Lastly, you will need to select an IIS Configuration of “Forms Authentication (Recommended)” or “Windows Authentication”. Click Next.
Wait until the installer completes the Velocity Web Services Client installation. A window similar to the one below will appear. Click Next.
The installation of the Web Service is now complete! Proceed to the section below to install the VWSC Website on a remote IIS Server.
Install VWSC Website on a Remote IIS Server
To install the website on the remote IIS Server, locate the Website Bundle required for installing the VWSC Website. Typically, the Website Bundle is available at the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Identiv\Velocity\WebService\WebsiteBundle.
Copy the WebSiteBundle folder to the remote IIS Server, as shown.
Next, run the WebSiteSetup.exe to start the installation process of the VWSC Website.
The Velocity Web Services Client Installer will check your system for prerequisites required to install the VWSC Website.
Follow the installation screens until the installation is completed.
If "HTTPS (Recommended)" is selected as the communication mode, you can also choose an SSL certificate. By default, the "Identiv Velocity Web Services" self-signed SSL certificate will be selected during a new installation.
Note: During an update, the previously configured SSL certificate will be selected by default.
Wait until the installer completes the VWSC Website installation.
After the installation is complete, a completion screen like the one below appears. Click Close to finish.
You can access the Web Client from any supported browser by going to the following URL: “https://localhost/VWSC/”
