Determining Settings for the IIS Administration Web Site

After you have installed the PT Admin application files on your hard disk, you must perform a number of housekeeping tasks to complete the installation of the application on the Internet Information Server (IIS) Administration Web Site.

You must create a new virtual directory on the Administration Web Site that will be used to access the PT folder, determine the random port for the Administration Web Site, remove the restriction for the local host in Directory Security, and set a method for authenticating the user. You can perform all these tasks through Internet Service Manager.

Procedures covered in this section include the following:

• Adding a New Virtual Directory on the Administration Web Site
• Identifying a Port for the Administration Web Site
• Removing the Restriction for the Local Host in Directory Security
• Setting Windows NT Challenge/Response Authentication for the PT Admin Application
