Configuration script for IIS

In this case, the server port for the license manager is set to 22222 and the client DLL port is set to 33333. Accordingly, the XML attributes are named as well. The "match" tag corresponds to the PathInfo from the SmartConfigurator.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="RedirectLicenseManagerServer22222" enabled="true" stopProcessing="false"> <match url="(ds_smartmanager3/.*)" /> <conditions> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:22222/{R:0}" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule> <rule name="RedirectClientDLLServer33333" enabled="true" stopProcessing="false"> <match url="(ds_smartapp5/.*)" /> <conditions> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:33333/{R:0}" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule> <rule name="https redirect" enabled="false" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="*" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}{REQUEST_URI}" /> </rule> </rules> <outboundRules> <preConditions> <preCondition name="ResponseIsHtml1"> <add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" /> </preCondition> </preConditions> </outboundRules> </rewrite> </system.webServer></configuration>
