IIS Express 8.0

The IIS Express 8.0 web server is a simple web server handling all HTTP requests on the offline client.

IIS Express 8.0 can be installed as part of the Aurea CRM web offline setup, see Installing 3rd-Party Products. Setup writes all necessary settings in the applicationhost.config file located in ..\web.data.

IIS Express 8.0 is started by CRM.launcher:

CRM.launcher reads all relevant settings from the applicationhost.config file and starts the IIS as the current user with those settings. CRM.launcher uses the port specified in the Offline.xml (< CommonClientUrl >).

Starting IIS Express 8.0 without CRM.launcher:

By default, the IIS Express 8.0 web server listens to HTTP requests on TCP/IP port 8080. You can specify another port via command line parameter. For a list of supported command line parameters. For further details, see Running IIS Express from the Command Line.

Note: Make sure that the IIS Express 8.0 web server is always used with exactly the same host name; it is not supported to e.g specify "localhost" as < CommonClientUrl > in the Offline.xml but start the web server with "127.0.0.1" via the command line.
