Version 2.1
Requirements:
Setup Instructions
Disclaimer: Although Web Interface for Resource Manager only
reads information from the Citrix Resource Manager Summary Database, be sure to thoroughly test this solution in a non-production environment before attempting this solution in a production environment.
Use the following setup instructions to set up the Web Interface for Resource Manager
in your environment. The setup involves setting up a web application that
utilizes the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework.
Step 1: Setting up the Web Application
- Copy the contents of the Website folder to your web server.
- Create a Virtual Directory in IIS
- Open Internet Information Services Manager.
- Right-click Default Web Site and select New -> Virtual Directory.
- Enter an alias for the virtual directory.
- Browse to the path where you copied the files.
- Ensure the Read and Run Scripts check boxes are checked.
- Enable the .NET Framework 2.0 on the Virtual Directory
- Right-click the newly created virtual directory and select Properties.
- Select the ASP.NET tab.
- Select version 2.0.x in the ASP.NET version drop down list.
Step 2: Configure your Globalization and Database options.
- Navigate to the web site you created in step 1. Since the Database options
are not initially configured, a configuration screen will appear. Select your
Database server <-- type (Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle) and enter the appropriate
connection information.
Note: Web Interface for Resource Manager only requires read access to the Citrix Resource
Manager Summary Database.
- Set the value of TimeZoneUTCOffset (optional). If you leave this setting blank, the
client machine's local time zone will be used to display Date/Time values.
The TimeZoneUTCOffset configuration parameter exists if you want
to override the client machine's
time zone.
Your setup is now complete. You can browse to http://your_web_server/your_virtual_directory_alias/
to start viewing reports from you Citrix Resource Manager Summary Database.
