Configuring ISAPI, NSAPI, or DSAPI Web Connectors

When you install the Web Connector on a Windows NT/2000 machine that is running a supported version of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), iPlanet Enterprise Server, or Lotus Domino, the Setup program configures your web server automatically.

The Setup program creates virtual directories on the web server, and maps them to the Web Content and Viewers directories of the Crystal Enterprise installation. The Setup program then configures application mappings on the web server, so all Crystal Enterprise requests (.csp, .cwr, .cri, and .rpt file types) are passed to the appropriate Web Connector module (ISAPI, NSAPI, or DSAPI). If you performed the full stand-alone installation, no additional configuration is required.

If you installed the Web Connector and the Web Component Server (WCS) on different machines, you must provide the Web Connector with information about the remote WCS. For details, see Configuring the Web Connector for a remote WCS.

Tip:    For additional information about the virtual directories and mappings that are configured on your web server, see the "Troubleshooting Path Mapping" section of the Crystal Enterprise Administrator's Guide.
