Website Security Configuration
Click on the Start Menu and click on Run. If this option is not visible, press and hold the Windows key on the keyboard and press R. If the keyboard does not have a Windows key, press Control+Alt+Delete, click on Task Manager, click on File and click on New Task (Run).
Type in inetmgr without quotes and press OK/Run.
Expand the server name, expand Web Sites, then expand Default Web Site.
Right-click on the DataAcademy website of your choice, and click on Open.
Press the backspace key on the keyboard. This will take you one level higher.
Right-click on the Data Academy directory (of your choice) and click on Properties.
Click on the Security tab.
On a Windows 2000 server, the username you are looking for is ASPNET. On a Windows 2003 or 2008 server, the username you are looking for is NETWORK SERVICE. Please substitute the appropriate name for username in the following steps.
If you are running on Windows Server 2008, please perform this one additional step: please press the Edit button.
Find the username in the Group or User names list.
If it doesn’t exist, click on the Add button, then on the Advanced button, then the Find Now button. Find the username in the list, click on it and press OK, then OK. Then proceed as below.
If it exists, press the Advanced button. Click on the username in the Name column and press Edit. Ensure the Read & Execute or Full Control checkbox is checked under the Allow column (it will automatically check the boxes underneath). Select "This folder, subfolders and files" from the Apply onto dropdown list. Then click on OK, OK and OK. If it asks about replacing permissions on folders, select all of them and click on Yes.
Double-click on the DataAcademy folder.
Right-click on the Web.config file, Select "Properties" and click on the Security tab.
Click on the username in the "Group or User Names" column, changing the username account permissions to "Full Control", and click on OK and return to the DataAcademy folder.
Linking the Database and Website Together
Open Internet Explorer, and enter the following URL into the address bar: http://localhost/websitename/Forms/start.aspx (replacing websitename with the DataAcademy website of your choice).
Fill in the details of the SQL Server here. Again, do NOT use “localhost” for the server name.
Fill in the database name in the appropriate box.
Select SQL Server for authentication, and enter the Data Academy username you set up at the start of the installation in the username box and the appropriate password in the password box. Then click on Save.
Now return to the IIS Manager window, and right-click on the Data Academy website.
Click on Open or Explore.
Browse into the Forms directory.
Select the start.aspx file and move it away to a directory that isn’t in the Data Academy website directory or its subdirectories. This is a backup file, in case the client ever needs to move the database and the link between the Data Academy website and the database changed.
Also, find the frm330PasswordMigration.aspx page and delete it.
Testing the Data Academy Installation
In the IIS Manager window, right-click on the Data Academy website and select Browse (in Windows Server 2008, this is in the Manage Application category).
