MID Web Server Context Configurations

[Pranita Bahugun]

Hello all,

I am trying to configure MID Web Server context and had few queries:

1. What should be Port that needs to be entered in HTTP/HTTPs Port?

2. What should be the Authentication Type that should be selected? As per the documentation Keybased will be depreciated.

3. Also if selected Basic or API what are the configurations that needs to be done.

4. Do we need to check the Secure Connection?

Please help me in resolving these queries.

Your quick help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

1. the port can be anything higher than 1024 up to 65536, but you should consult with the infrastructure/network team to help you pick one that can be accessed from anywhere in the company.

2. depends on what will be connecting to the web server, usually API key is the easiest to use.

3. no advice here without knowing the use-case.

4. yes, checking the secure connection is always a good thing.

Hi @-O- ,

Thanks alot for your quick response. 

Can you also please confirm if using API key method we need to first create API in MID Server API keys table and the generated Authentication Key will be used by the client while connecting to the Web Server? As we do not see any option to enter the Authentication Key while configuring MID Web Server Context when opted for API Key method.

Is this the correct approach?

Thanks,

The key should be auto-generated and found under "MID Server" -> "Profile and Deployments" -> "MID Web Server API key".

Once you open the record you will have a related link called "View API key" which pops up a dialog and allows you to copy the key to be used when configuring the clients.
