Ideagen Internal Audit (Aura): Configuring to run on non-standard http and https ports
Some organisations use non-standard port numbers for http and https services.
Ideagen Internal Audit (Aura) can be configured for use with non-standard ports, starting with the following versions:
- V6: v6.0.1.2
- V5.4: v5.4.0.11
Steps for changing the configuration of a working Ideagen Internal Audit (Aura) system are detailed below.
About the example
In this example, https is bound to port 8080 and https to port 4430 - substitute your own numbers. The FQDN of the server is server.domain.com.
Changing the app server configuration files
The following files contain references to http://server.domain.com or https://server.domain.com:
- FBA\Web.config
- Service\Web.config
- WebService\Web.config
- WebUI\Web.con
- Program Files (x86)\Pentana\ServerRobot\Pentana601\Pentana.Tng.ServerRobot.RobotService.exe.config
In each file:
- Replace http://server.domain.com with http://server.domain.com:8080
- Replace https://server.domain.com with https://server.domain.com:4430
Additional line in WebService\web.config
In the file WebService\web.config, add the following line in the section <Pentana.Tng.Web.Service>:
<add key="forceMainServiceHttpPort" value="8080" />
e.g.
Restart the services
After making these changes, recycle the IIS app pools for Pentana, and restart the Pentana Robot Windows service.
Updating the client application
The client file vision.exe.config also needs to be updated for each desktop client:
- Replace http://server.domain.com with http://server.domain.com:8080
- Replace https://server.domain.com with https://server.domain.com:4430
If you are changing the port number for the site after Ideagen Internal Audit (Aura) has been set up and the client has been distributed via ClickOnce, then be aware that the installed client will no longer be able to locate the ClickOnce package, because in effect the website has moved. The client will be looking at http://server.domain.com, but the site is now at http://server.domain.com:8080.
So, in order to update a client that’s distributed via ClickOnce:
- Update vision.exe.config in the ClickOnce package with the new server URL
- At each desktop, uninstall Ideagen Internal Audit (Aura)
- Reinstall from the new ClickOnce link
