When creating a new site using SmartPlant Foundation Server Manager, the New Site Server Wizard provides a Create local operating system users for site application pools option that creates local users on the operating system and sets them to run as the identity of the related application pool. If you do not select this option, you can create local users and create and configure application pools manually.

For detailed procedures on how to set up and maintain sites using Sever Manager, see Server and Site Administration.

Some issues to consider when setting up the sites manually:

  • To prevent application processes from adversely affecting one another, you can deploy worker process isolation mode. By isolating one or more applications within the process boundaries of an application pool, you can increase the stability and security of your server. You can place a single application into its own application pool or group multiple applications into a shared application pool.

  • To configure SmartPlant Foundation to run independently of other applications, you must create a new user account and configure application pool identities. Running SmartPlant Foundation independently of other applications is intended to increase stability.

  • For SmartPlant Foundation to run securely, the SmartPlant Foundation server-side components need to be run using a controlled user, and that user must be assigned to a group that has proper permissions to list, read, and execute within the web site's directory structure. Finally, an application pool from which worker applications are started must be created for the SmartPlant Foundation application using the identity of the controlled SmartPlant Foundation user you created.

  • You should also isolate other site operations, such as the Remote Services and File Service applications, in separate application pools and create a controlled user to be identified with each application pool that runs these services.
