Configuring PaperSave 6 System Requirements

 

PaperSave Service Account

 

The PaperSave Application Server requires a service account to execute its services. This account must be an Active Directory user account on the same domain as your client workstations, and should have the following group membership on the PaperSave server:

Member of the Administrators group
Member of the IIS_IUSRS group
Member of the WSS_ADMIN_WPG group (only if using SharePoint)
Member of the WSS_WPG group (only if using SharePoint)
On your SQL server, this account must have the SysAdmin rights server role(s)
On your SQL server, this account must have the db_datareader & db_datawriter User Mapping to your host application database(s).

 

Configure Windows Roles & Features

 

Internet Information Services and ASP.NET

To use PaperSave, the server must be running Internet Information Services (IIS) with ASP.NET installed.

 

Note:

The PaperSave Application Server is deployed on an IIS web site. The TCP/IP port for the web site which will be used with PaperSave will need to be open in the internal firewall between the PaperSave server and the client workstations. The port for the web site can be dynamically assigned at the point of installation, but the port for the WCF service is the default 56555, and needs to be open between the PaperSave server and the client workstations.

 

Installing IIS on Windows Server

 

You can install IIS by adding the Web Server (IIS) server role in the Server Manager. To install this role, complete the following steps:

 

1. Open the Server Manager.

Roles are added in the Server Manager. Choose Start -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager.

 

2. Select the Roles node in the Server Manager.

Click Next to continue.

 

6. Confirm the installation.

Review the information about the Web services.

 

7. Review the installation results.
