Tip for Working with Third-Party Websites/Web Applications

  • The websites created outside the SMC are listed under the Websites node in the SMC tree. However, you cannot delete them using the SMC.
  • You can create a web application from a third-party website that has no user configured. However, if you edit the third-party website using the SMC, you are prompted to select a website user.
  • If WebDAV Settings and ARR proxy are not enabled for a third-party website under which you want to create a web application, you must click Edit and then Save . However, if any other website parameter is missing, you must modify the third-party website parameters.
  • Before creating a web application from a third-party website, you must ensure the following configuration details of the third-party website. Otherwise, a Parent Website validation failed message displays and you cannot proceed with the Web application creation.
    - HTTP and HTTPs ports
    - Host name
    - Physical path on the disk
    - Valid certificate
  • Only the web applications created using the SMC are listed under Websites in the SMC tree. Third-party web applications are not listed in the SMC.
  • For a third-party website created on a root drive, do not use SMC to create a web application under the website on the (same or a different) root drive. Otherwise, you cannot launch the Desigo CC web page and an HTTP 404 error message displays.
