CONFIGURING WINDOWS SERVER
MIS 424Professor Sandvig
Overview • In this exercise you will:
1. Log onto Windows Server2. Create a new application pool3. Create a new web application4. Open Sql Server Management Studio5. Create a new Sql Server database6. Create a new Sql Server user7. Assign the user to the database8. Read your database from web page
Steps• You will be provided with an instance of Windows Server
2008 hosted by on Amazon EC2 cloud• The next two slides display how an instance is launched
from Amazon’s console
Amazon Web Service Console
Select instance type
Instance• Each instance is assigned a public IP address• The following slide shows the instance management page
Instance Management
Instance Management• Next step is to get the instance password
Instance management
Password• Amazon generates a private key for each account. • The private key is used to decrypt the password (next
slide)
Password
Password• Ta-da!
Login• Login to your instance using Remote Desktop• Your IP address and password are on the next page

View IIS Default• By default Windows
hides file extensions• Developers need to
see file extensions.• Navigate to the IIS
root web folder• Change folder
options to show file extensions
Permissions• While in the IIS root folder,
check folder permissions.• Which permissions are
assigned to anonymous web users?
View default web page• Open browser on your local machine and view IIS default
web page• Address is IP address of your instance
Modify default web page• Use Notepad to edit the default web page
Create ASP.NET Application• You will now use IIS to create a new ASP.NET application.
Create a ASP.NET Application• Create a new folder named mis424Application
Create ASP.NET Application• Search for IIS using
Windows search • Open IIS 7.0 Manager
Create a new application pool• Your application is important so provide it with its own
application pool
New Application pool• Give the application pool the same name as the
application folder• Change framework to 4.0
Create new Application• Right click on your new folder
and convert it to an application
• Select your new application pool
Test your application• Use Notepad to create a file default.aspx with the
following code: <%@ Page Trace="true" Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server"> void page_load() { lblMessage.Text = ".NET Version: " + System.Environment.Version.ToString() +
"<br> Application Pool: " + Request.ServerVariables["APP_POOL_ID"] ; }</script>
<html><head> <title>ASP.NET Test</title></head><body> <asp:label id="lblMessage" runat="server" /></body></html>
View new File
Database• You have now configured an ASP.NET application• The next step is to create a new SQL server database
and link to it from your web application.
Create a new database• Open Sql Server
Management Studio on the remote server
Connect to Sql Server
• Management Studio will automatically select your database server
• Click “Connect”
Create new database• Name your new database “customers”
Create a new table (as shown)
Create new table• You will be connecting an .aspx page to your database
so make sure that all the names match the sample• Sql Server is case sensitive• custID is an identity field• custID is the primary key• Table name is tblCustomers
Add some data
Permissions• Permissions are needed to access the database• You will create a new user named Webguest • For security reasons Webguest has only limited
permissions• In the following steps you will:
1. Configure Sql Server to allow Sql server authentication
2. create a new Sql Server user3. Assign user permissions to your database
Allow Sql Server Authentication• Using Sql Server
Management Studio right-click on the database server (top folder) and and select Properties
• Click on Security• Change authentication
mode
Restart Database• In Management Studio right-
click on server and select restart
Add new Sql Server user
Add Sql user• Username:
Webguest• Password:
guest22• Turn off “enforce
password policy”
Assign user to customers database
• Open Customers database
• Open Security• Right-click “Users”• Select “New User
Assign Roles on Database• Username and
Login name is “Webguest”
• Assign limited roles: datareader and datawriter
Test login• Create a second
connection to database in SSMS.
• Login to server using Sql Server Authentication
• You now have two connections to database. One as an admin, one as Webguest
Test permissions• Try to view, add, update,
and delete data• Try to add a new table
Connect Web to Database• Create a new file
crud.aspx using this code
• Replace data source with your database name from Sql Server Studio
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server"> <title>Read Sql Server</title> <style type="text/css"> table {margin:10px auto; background-color:#fff;} td {padding:5px;} body {background-color:#ccc;}
</style></head><body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div style="text-align:center;"> <h1>Read Sql Server</h1><hr /> <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="custID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"> <Columns> <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="custID" HeaderText="custID" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="custID" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="name" HeaderText="name" SortExpression="name" /> </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="Data Source=win-vuc09id4k05;Initial Catalog=customers;User ID=Webguest;Password=guest22" DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [tblCustomers] WHERE [custID] = @custID" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [tblCustomers] ([name]) VALUES (@name)" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" SelectCommand="SELECT [custID], [name] FROM [tblCustomers]" UpdateCommand="UPDATE [tblCustomers] SET [name] = @name WHERE [custID] = @custID"> <DeleteParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="custID" Type="Int32" /> </DeleteParameters> <InsertParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="name" Type="String" /> </InsertParameters> <UpdateParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="name" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="custID" Type="Int32" /> </UpdateParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> </div> </form></body></html>
Test CRUD
Email links• Email your Amazon cloud links to Professor Sandvig:
1. default.aspx2. Crud.aspx
Summary• Today you have:
1. Logged onto Windows Server2. Created a new application pool3. Created a new web application4. Used Sql Server Management Studio to:
a. Create a new databaseb. Create a new userc. Assign the user to the databased. Log in as the new user
5. Read your database from an .aspx application
Other things you could do:• Create your own Amazon EC2 instance (free but requires
a credit card)• Copy your MIS 324 / MIS 424 assignments to Amazon• Setup a CMS
• Download Microsoft Web Platform Installer• Select a CMS (see next page)
