Software Requirements
To get the most out of your EmpowerID deployment, the following software requirements must be met. At a minimum, EmpowerID recommends one dedicated server for the Web Front-End (hosts server web services) and one dedicated server for the Application server (hosts back-end processes).
To prevent false alarms, errors or performance degradation during the installation and use of EmpowerID, please exclude the following directories from antivirus scanning software:
%ProgramFiles%\TheDotNetFactory\EmpowerID\Programs
%ProgramFiles%\TheDotNetFactory\EmpowerID\Web Sites
%WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
%WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
Prior to running EmpowerID, you must install the Microsoft IIS CORS and URL Rewrite modules on each EmpowerID server. To do so, please run the below PowerShell script in administrative mode.Â
[System.IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory("C:\TempEID")
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/2/8/128E2E22-C1B9-44A4-BE2A-5859ED1D4592/rewrite_amd64_en-US.msi', 'C:\TempEID\rewrite_amd64.msi'); `
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/F/2/2F259559-FC43-4B2C-B53F-DED3E9950912/IISCORS_amd64.msi', 'C:\TempEID\IISCORS_amd64.msi'); `
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList '/i', 'C:\TempEID\IISCORS_amd64.msi', '/quiet', '/norestart' -NoNewWindow -Wait
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList '/i', 'C:\TempEID\rewrite_amd64.msi', '/quiet', '/norestart' -NoNewWindow -Wait
rm -r 'C:\TempEID'
EmpowerID is configured for CORS out of the box, so no special configuration is needed. However, if you would like to configure it, you need to make your changes in the web.config file by default at: C:\Program Files\TheDotNetFactory\EmpowerID\Web Sites\EmpowerID.Web.SiteRoot to have your changes take effect across all subpaths.
For more information, see Microsoft IIS CORS module Configuration Reference.
