Synchronizing Through a Web Server
If you are using a Microsoft web server, you can use the ISAPI version of the Redirector. Following are setup instructions for IIS 5.0.
To configure ISAPI Redirector for Microsoft web servers
Complete the steps in Configuring Redirector properties (all versions).
Copy the file iaredirect.dll to Inetpub/scripts on the computer that holds the web server.
The file iaredirect.dll is installed with MobiLink synchronization server, in MobiLink\redirector\isapi under your SQL Anywhere directory
The directory Inetpub/scripts is in the Microsoft web server installation directory.
Copy the file redirector.config to Inetpub/scripts on the computer that holds the web server.
If you are using HTTPS synchronization, configure your server as follows:
Right-click My Computer and select Manage from the popup menu.
In the left pane, open the Services and Applications folder. Select Internet Information Services.
In the right pane, right-click the default web site and select Configure from the popup menu.
Click the Directory Security tab.
Click Server Certificate.
The Web Server Certificate wizard appears.
Select Create a New Certificate to generate a certificate request. Follow the remaining prompts, choosing to output the certificate request to a file.
Sign your certificate.
You can sign the certificate using a third-party certificate authority or using the gencert utility, which requires a separate license. For more information, see Certificate generation utility.
Click Server Certificate.
The Web Server Certificate wizard appears with different prompts to allow you to install the signed certificate. Follow the prompts.
Click View Certificate to verify that your certificate has been correctly installed.
The directory Inetpub/scripts is created during the web server installation with execute permissions. You can put redirector.config and iaredirect.dll in a different directory only if you use the IIS utility Internet Services Manager to give execute permissions to the directory.
To test your configuration
Call the ISAPI Redirector using the following syntax:
protocol://host[:port]/exec_dir/iaredirect.dll/ml/
where:
protocol is http or https.
host is the host name of the web server.
port is the port on which the web server is listening, if it is not the default port.
exec_dir is the directory where you installed the Redirector dll, iaredirect.dll. The default directory is scripts.
For example,
http://server:8080/scripts/iaredirect.dll/ml/
Check the log file to see if the Redirector logged a request.
