4.4 Configuring network connectivity
SIU references: SIU-023, SIU-024, SIU-025, SIU-026, SIU-027, SIU-028, SIU-029, SIU-030, SIU-152, SIU-235, SIU-236, SIU-322.
The network must be running the TCP/IP protocol.
If there is a firewall between the web server and the workstation, the firewall must allow:
- HTTP requests through port 80.
- HTTPS requests through port 443 (if SSL/TLS is being used).
The MyID installation program uses the bindings and ports for the web site as specified in IIS. If a single binding exists, that protocol and port is used. If multiple bindings exist for a web site, a port is selected in the following priority:
- Port 80
- Port 443
- The lowest numeric value in the list
Note: If you have CRL checks enabled, and your PowerShell scripts are required to be signed, you must make sure that you have Internet access to allow the server to check the CRL for the signed scripts. If you cannot enable Internet access, server performance will be impacted; you may want to disable CRL checks in this case.
4.4.1 ADO and MSADC requirements on the application server
SIU references: SIU-246, SIU-247.
The MyID application server requires ADO and MSADC to be operational to allow database connectivity. Make sure you do not remove or disable these components on your application server.
4.4.2 NetBIOS computer names
You must make sure that the NetBIOS names of the MyID servers conform to Microsoft's requirements, including allowed characters and length; NetBIOS computer names must contain between 1 and 15 characters. See your Microsoft documentation for details.
