Click Studios provides a Windows Installer for Passwordstate, so your don't have to manually specify web site settings/permissions manually, which can be quite onerous. The following occurs on your web server during an installation of Passwordstate.

Pre-requisite Checks and Installs:

Passwordstate will check for the following pre-requisites on your web server, and if they don't exist it will install them

• Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 (either x86 or x64)
• Internet Information Services (IIS) and required IIS Roles

Files Installed and NTFS Permissions:

• All required files will be installed to the default path of 'c:\inetpub\passwordstate', unless you change the path during the install
• Modify rights will be applied to the Passwordstate folder and all nested files/folders, for the “NETWORK SERVICE” & "IIS_IUSRS" accounts

Web Site Created:

A web site called 'passwordstate' is created, as well as three IIS Application Pools called 'Passwordstate', 'PasswordstateApps' and 'PasswordstateWinAPI'. The only possible differences with the configuration of the web site is:

• 'Authentication' settings will be different based on whether you chose AD Integrated or Local Account Authentication for Passwordstate. AD Integrated means you will authenticate with your Active Directory account. Local Account authentication means you will authenticate with a separate login and password. In both cased, 'Anonymous Authentication' will be enabled for the site in IIS
• The 'Binding' for the web site may be different, depending on what you selected during the setup
• The Port Number of the web site runs on is also set based on the settings you chose during the setup
• A self-signed SSL certificate is created and assigned to the Passwordstate web site
