If you are running Apache as your web server, you can choose between two different Web Connector technologies: ASAPI or CGI. When you installed the Web Connector, the Crystal Enterprise setup.sh script created configuration files that contain custom Apache configuration directives for both Web Connectors.
The ASAPI Web Connector is essentially an Apache Dynamic Shared Object (DSO). When started, the Apache daemon loads the ASAPI Web Connector module; this module handles all Crystal Enterprise requests and forwards them to the Web Component Server. For details, see Enabling the ASAPI Web Connector.
The CGI Web Connector for Apache is provided for systems where DSOs are not implemented. This Web Connector works similarly to other CGI binaries. For details, see Enabling the CGI Web Connector for Apache.
