Configuring IIS to Host a LymeStack Based App

Prior to setting up a website in IIS, setup a domain with your DNS provider. For this example we'll use uat.mycompany.com. First, we will setup IIS to handle secure SSL traffic and then we will setup a redirect to handle unsecured HTTP traffic by redirecting those users to the HTTP version of the application.

  1. In IIS Manager, on the "Sites" node, right click and "Add New Website".

    1. Specify the site name: MyCompany
    2. Use the DefaultAppPool as the Application Pool
    3. Binding Type: https
    4. Host Name: uat.mycompany.com for UAT or app.mycompany.com for Production.
    5. SSL Certificate: Select an installed SSL Certificate.
  2. Setup IIS Website - MyCompany_Redirect

    1. Map to C:\WebApps\MyCompany_Redirect folder and use the DefaultAppPool as the application pool.
    2. Setup IIS Permanant (301) Redirect to go to https://uat.mycompany.com/ for UAT or https://app.mycompany.com/ for Production
