Considerations when enabling SharePoint on virtual servers post install This section provides information on updating the template configuration file when you enable or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 on a new virtual server after the installation of the BusinessObjects XI SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit. Template configuration file The template configuration file for the BusinessObjects XI SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit is located in the following directory: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\CONFIG\webconfig. businessobjects. xml. Every time a web site is created through your SharePoint solution, SharePoint uses this XML configuration template file to generate web. config entries. This template also specifies the BusinessObjects Enterprise system that you entered during installation. Thus, if you change the machine on which your BusinessObjects Enterprise Central Management Server (CMS) is located, you need to update this XML file. In particular, you need to update the value for the "BusinessObjects Enterprise Central Management Server" key to ensure that the value matches the name of your CMS. 16 BusinessObjects XI SharePoint Installation Guide Configuring the BusinessObjectsSharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit Updating web. config for subsequent SharePoint-enabled virtual servers 3 Updating web. config for subsequent SharePoint-enabled virtual servers This section provides information about updating the web. config file. Specifically, this section details the tags and configuration settings for the BusinessObjects XI SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit. Updating web. config The BusinessObjects XI SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit installer updates the web. config file that is located in the standard root space of your web server . The installer also creates a backup of your original web. config file, called backup web. config. The backup file is stored in the installation directory. Note: In some instances, your web. config file may be located elsewhere. Consider this example: you host your SharePoint site on port 81, instead of the default port 80. In this case, your web. config for port 80 is located at c:\<machine_name>\webroot\web. config, instead of the default location. Although you specify the correct URL and port number during setup, the installation program always attempts to update the configuration file in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot. If there is no SharePoint or . NET deployment on port 80, there may not be a web. config file in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot. In this case, you need to update your web. config file manually. During the installation process, extra tags are added to the bottom of the web. config file. The tags contain the following text: <appSettings> <!-- Authentication mode can be secWinAD, secWindowsNT, secEn terprise --> <add key="BusinessObjects Enterprise Authentication Mode" val ue="%AUTHENTICATIONMODE%" /> <!-- Management server is the name of the server where the CMS resides --> <add key="BusinessObjects Enterprise Management Server" val ue="%CMSNAME%" /> <!-- Token expiry in minutes to limit re-authentication --> <add key="BusinessObjects Enterprise Token Timeout" value="600" /> <!-- InfoObject ProgID Exclusion Types (any valid Enterprise Prog-Id comma separated) --> BusinessObjects XI SharePoint Installation Guide 17 3 Configuring the BusinessObjectsSharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit Updating web. config for subsequent SharePoint-enabled virtual servers <add key="BusinessObjects Enterprise Object Exclusions" val ue="CrystalEnterprise.
