In many situations, a different server already running IIS is available for hosting Meridian PowerWeb. This is a valid configuration so long as DCOM access is possible between the PowerWeb server and the Meridian server. For help installing PowerWeb with a firewall, see Allow PowerWeb Access Through a Firewall. The minimum IIS components that must be installed for proper operation of PowerWeb are listed in Meridian Application Server Requirements.
To install the PowerWeb server components on a server other than the Meridian application server:
-
Start the Meridian setup program on the PowerWeb server.
-
From the Server components list, select only PowerWeb. Do not install the License Server component.
The Administrator components will be installed with PowerWeb because they are needed to create web locations of the vaults.
-
If prompted, type the name of the computer running the AutoManager EDM Server service.
In this configuration, user logon credentials will be required to authenticate the PowerWeb server to the Meridian application server. For more information, see Security Delegation.
