arcplan Enterprise 6 Installation and Configuration Guide 1.1 arcplan Enterprise 6 Server
Page 3
The arcplan Application Server is the core of arcplan Application upon which the arcplan Application Service is executed. The service can access all popular database systems and the Internet via the interfaces and in so doing, opens up all internal and external data sources. The arcplan Application Server computer also stores the individual applications. To access these applications a web server such as Microsoft Internet Information Server is required. The users open the HTML start page on the web server with any browser. The HTML start page determines which application on the arcplan Application Server should be started. The browser loads the client, which communicates with the arcplan Application Server via the arcplan CGI. The service starts the application and reads the data from the corresponding data sources (internal, external or Internet). The arcplan documents containing the latest results are then displayed in the browser on the client.
1.2 arcplan Enterprise 6 Application Designer

The arcplan Application Designer is software for innovative database applications and analytical information systems. With this development environment, users can accomplish rapid application development from basic ad-hoc queries to complete corporate information systems. The arcplan Application Designer is the graphical development environment. Working with the arcplan Application Designer requires no specific programming knowledge. Connections between objects and data sources are established through Drag and Drop. The underlying querying of the data sources is generated automatically by arcplan. The applications can be very easily and flexibly configured through the graphical user guidance and the object-oriented method of generating reports and screens.
1.3 arcplan Enterprise 6 Administration Console

The arcplan Administration Console manages and administrates the arcplan Application Server(s) as well as the applications. This includes amongst other things the management of client components as well as the management of accounts, tasks and applications.

arcplan Enterprise 6 Installation and Configuration Guide 3 Setting up the Web Server (IIS6)
Page 11
3.1 Configuring the web server directories

arcplan Enterprise requires a web server such as Microsoft Internet Information Server to publish applications to the Intranet or Internet. The following examples are based on a standard installation of the Microsoft Internet Information Server on drive C: of the server computer. Moreover, it is assumed that the arcplan Application Server and web server are running on the same computer. The arcplan Enterprise CGI, the client components and the HTML start page for an arcplan Enterprise application must be installed on the web server. The recommended procedure is to install these components in separate directories on the web server. C:\Inetpub\Scripts is created automatically by the Microsoft Internet Information Server Setup. The arcplan CGI will be stored in this directory. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\arcplanClient has to be created manually. The arcplan client components are to be stored in this directory. Note: The names of the above mentioned directories are proposals. These names are also used in the corresponding dialogs of the arcplan Administration Console. It is possible to use different directory names. The web server must be granted certain permissions to be able to access the directories where the above mentioned components and your application are located. These permissions are influenced on one hand by the settings on the web server and on the other hand by access privileges granted on the operating system level for folders and files. Since the arcplan CGI is an executable file the CGI folder of the web server must have the permission to execute files. The Scripts directory of the Internet Information Server is configured this way by default. If you created your own CGI directory you have to take care that this directory is configured correspondingly. The Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) can be configured with the Internet Information Services Manager. Other web servers offer corresponding configuration tools.
arcplan Enterprise 6 Installation and Configuration Guide 3.2 How to configure the Scripts directory

arcplan Enterprise 6 Installation and Configuration Guide Appendix A: Configuring the .Net Framework for the .Net Client
Page 30
.NET based Windows Forms Control: Microsoft offers a technique to embed a so-called Windows Form Control into the browser page. These Windows Forms are embedded into the Microsoft .NET Framework, which has to be installed on the client computer. The arcplan .NET client is a Windows Forms Control based web client for the arcplan Application Server. It is a 3rd web deployment option next to the Java Applet and the HTML viewer. The functionality of the arcplan .NET client is similar to that of the Java Applet. What are the benefits? Support of the Microsoft standards for embedding client controls into Web pages (windows form controls) Support of enhanced security and authorization concepts, e.g. Windows Integrated Authentication The .NET client components are part of the Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft Office 2007 and are already deployed with Windows 2003 Server. What do I need to run the .NET client? Similar to a Java Applet requiring a JRE, use of the .NET client requires installation of the Microsoft.NET Framework on the Web Client machine (note that the .NET framework does NOT have to be installed on the arcplan Server). The Microsoft .NET Framework is currently available per default on a Windows 2003 Server installation and will be shipped with future Windows Operating Systems. It can also be downloaded from the Microsoft website. In previous versions, two variants of the .Net-Client were available: arcClientNet.dll (Low Trust) and arcClientNetP.dll (Full Trust). arcplan Enterprise 6 offers only the "Full Trust" component named arcClient6Net.dll. This component requires the additional component arcplan6Api.dll. A runtime security policy has to be applied to both components (see below). Important changes to previous versions: The .NET-Client requires an installation of the .NET Framework 2.0 or higher on the client computer. Older versions of the .NET Framework are no longer supported. Existing HTML start pages need to be created anew in the arcplan Enterprise Administration Console. Existing documents created with arcplan Enterprise 5 or 5.5 can be used without change by arcplan Enterprise 6. Processing of arcplan Enterprise 6 documents with arcplan 5.x, however, is not supported.
There are two steps necessary to configure the .Net environment: 1. Installing the .NET Client on the web server 2. Configuring security settings on .NET client computers
arcplan Enterprise 6 Installation and Configuration Guide 1. Setup and Configuration: Web Server
Page 31
How to install the .NET Client 1. In the arcplan Administrator, open the folder Server Objects and click the plus sign next to Webserver. 2. Successively click the plus signs in front of Webserver 1, Client Components and Available Version. This is where the version of the arcplan Client Components available on the arcplan server is displayed. If you click on Installed Version the version currently installed on the web server is displayed. 3. Choose Available Version and click Install in the toolbar. 4. Click Browse and select the full path of the Web Server Target Directory into which the arcplan client components are to be installed. 5. Enter the External URL of the Target Directory which will be used by the browser to load the client components. The access can be made with http or https. Select the desired option. This information will be inserted into the HTML start page when it is created. 6. Click OK. The correctly installed version is now displayed under Installed Version. Note: In order for the web client to download the DLLs (arcClient6Net.dll and arcplan6API.dll), the Web Server directory, where the arcplan client components reside, needs to grant the web client read access to the components (refer to chapter 3.4 above) Example for a correct configuration on IIS:
arcplan Enterprise 6 Installation and Configuration Guide 2. Setup and Configuration: Client Security Settings
Page 32
In a default installation of the .NET Framework on a client computer a user has only Internet permissions in respect to calling Windows Forms Control over the internet. Internet permissions prevent the following activities: Reading and writing local files Execution of files and applications Opening URLs in the same or a new browser window Printing Currently there are three different methods of adjusting the Security Settings on the client computer (only an administrator is allowed to modify the default security settings): Method 1: Adjusting Client Security Settings with the caspol.exe tool The caspol.exe tool can be used to adjust the .NET 2.0 security settings on a client computer. 1. Open a command prompt window. 2. Navigate to the folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v2.0.50727 3. Enter the following command line: caspol -machine -addgroup All_Code -pub -file http://webservername/arcplanclient6 /arcclient6net.dll FullTrust name arcplan 4. Answer Y (for yes) to the prompt Thus the permission set Full Trust is assigned to the publisher arcplan Information Services AG. The publisher is extracted from the arcClient6Net.dll by the caspol tool. This security setting grants all privileges required on the client computer by the arcClient6Net.dll. 5. Enter the following command line: caspol -machine -addgroup All_Code -pub -file http://webservername /arcplanclient6 /arcplan6api.dll FullTrust name arcplan 6. Answer Y (for yes) to the prompt Thus the permission set Full Trust is assigned to the publisher arcplan Information Services AG. The publisher is extracted from the arcClient6API.dll by the caspol tool. The other method is to run the command line via a batch job. Such a batch job can be distributed by SMS or via Active Directory and used to apply the security settings on remote client computers.

Method 2: .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration interface
Page 33
1. Start Control Panel Administrative Tools Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration
2. Right-Click on Runtime Security Policy Trust Assembly

3. Choose the default radio button option (make changes to this computer) Click Next
Page 34
4.
In the Trust an Assembly dialog, enter the URL for the dll and Click Next

5. Click on the All assemblies from the same publisher radio button Click Next
Page 35
6. Make sure the slider is all the way to the top (Full Trust) Click Next and Finish.
Page 36
Method 3: Adjust the security settings manually with the .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration interface 1. Start Control Panel Administrative Tools Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration and open the path to the machine's Code Groups as shown below:
2. 3. 4. 5.
Click on Add a Child Code Group and enter arcplanNETclient for the new code group. Click Next to Choose a condition type for this code group. Choose Strong Name and click on the Import... button. Browse the file arcClient6Net.dll, e.g. c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\arcplanClient\arcClient6Net.dll, to import its Public key. 6. Click Next and set the permission set to Full Trust. 7. Click Next and Finish to create the new code group. This procedure assigns the permission Full Trust to the strong name specified. This security setting grants all privileges required on the client computer by the arcClient6Net.dll and arcplan6API.dll Note: If the .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5 is already installed on the computer, the mentioned security settings have to be applied to this version, too.
