Virtual Directory - Creating a Virtual Directory in IIS

First, ensure you have two users with the same username and password on both sides (Bizview server side and scanned document server). These two users do not have to be members in the same domain!

  1. Open Internet Information Services on the Bizview server.
  2. Create a custom Application Pool by right-clicking and selecting Add Application Pool:

    3. Enable_BizView_Document_Viewer_add_app_pool

  3. Name it something explanatory:

    4. Virtual_Directory_add_app_pool

  4. Right-click the new application pool and select Advanced Settings:

    5. Virtual_Directory_app_pool_adv_sett

  5. Change the Identity property to the user discussed above (user which resides on both sides):

    6. Virtual_Directory_add_app_pool_user

  6. Enter the username and password:

    7. Virtual_Directory_add_app_pool_user_credentials

  7. Right-click your website and select Add Virtual Directory:

    8. Virtual_Directory_add_app_virtual_directory

  8. Enter a descriptive Alias and the Physical path to the scanned documents folder.

  9. Then, select Connect As..:

    10. Virtual_Directory_add_app_virtual_directory2

  10. Enter the same user as previous steps:

    11. Virtual_Directory_add_app_virtual_direct_connect_as

  11. Right-click and select Convert to Application:

    12. Virtual_Directory_add_app_virtual_direct_convert_to_appl

  12. Change the Application pool of the new virtual folder to your new Application pool:

Virtual_Directory_add_app_virtual_change_app_pool

Note:
  • If the user does not belong to the administrator group on the Bizview app server, it might be required to add sufficient read/write permissions on the webserver in the following path:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
  • To provide security, we highly recommend you to use IIS feature IP-filtering on the target share since it will be published to anyone able to browse to that site.
