Modify a Web Application on a Server

If web application details are missing after the web application is created, for example, if a certificate is deleted from the Windows Certificate store after the web application is created, the certificate displays in red when you select the web application in the SMC tree. In this case you must edit and save the web application.

  • At least one web application is available.
  1. In the SMC tree, select Websites > [website] > [web application].
  1. Click Edit .
  1. In the Web Application Details expander, edit the web application details as follows:
    a. Click Browse to edit the web application user. The web application user must be a member of the IIS_IUSRS group. If you select a user that is not a member of the IIS_IUSRS group, the SMC prompts you to add that user to the IIS_IUSRS group.
    b. Enter the Password of the web application user.
    c. Click Browse and select a valid certificate using the Select Certificate dialog box. You can select a certificate from the Personal tab of the Store location; either Local machine certificates or User certificates.
    NOTE: Only certificates with RSA signature algorithm are supported. CNG certificates are not supported.
  1. From the Project Information: Web Server Communication expander, select a Server project for linking to the web application.
    NOTE 1: If the Web communication for the selected project is Disabled, it is recommended to cancel the web application creation and set the web configuration mode as Secured or Local. Otherwise, after creating a web application if you click the web application URL, you cannot connect with Web or Windows App clients.
    NOTE 2: When you edit a project, the CCom port settings, including Communication mode and CCom port number, are updated to match the linked project's CCom port settings. Also, the system name and the project path of the linked project are displayed and selected by default. However, you cannot edit them.
    NOTE 3: In a distributed environment, in addition to the linked system name (system name associated with the Server project linked to the web application), the system names of all the projects in distribution with the Server project linked to the web application are also displayed. When you launch the Web/WindowsApp clients, you can work with all the projects whose system names are listed.
  1. Click Save .
  • A message displays, if you modify the web application certificate, indicating you that you need to sign the web application with the modified certificate using Sign Application .
  • The web application parameters are modified.
