This topic describes how to permit access to TrackStudio via an existing Internet Information Server. TrackStudio can be configured so that when you reference an IIS "virtual folder" (e.g. /TrackStudio), you will be redirected to TrackStudio.

1. Start the IIS administration software (Start -> Programs -> Administrative Files -> Internet Information Services).
2. Create a virtual TrackStudio folder for one of the web sites, e.g. for the Default Web Site (Action -> New -> Virtual Directory).
   • Specify the <TRACKSTUDIO_HOME> path as a local path to the virtual folder.
   • Allow the Execute permission.
3. Add a filter to the selected web site (Default Web Site -> Properties -> ISAPI Filter -> Add...).
   • Select the <TRACKSTUDIO_HOME>\lib\isapi_redirector2.dll file as executable.
4. IIS6 only: Allow the Web Service Extension to operate:
   • Click on the Web Services Extensions item in the left hand pane.
   • In the right hand pane, add a new Web Service Extension.
   • Browse and set the required file for this extension to the <TRACKSTUDIO_HOME>\lib\isapi_redirector2.dll
   • Set the status to allowed.
5. Define the trackstudio.siteURL (in the trackstudio.properties file) as http://<IIS server>/TrackStudio
6. Execute install4iis.js
7. Restart Internet Information Server.
8. Restart TrackStudio Enterprise.
9. Now TrackStudio will be available as http://<IIS server>/TrackStudio

It is very important to start the IIS and TrackStudio in the proper order -- first start IIS and then start TrackStudio. When starting TrackStudio you will see a warning message, informing you that the specified port is not available. You can safely ignore this.
