Internet Information Service (IIS)

IIS requires good planning and an understanding of system and user accounts, Web sites, application pools, and permissions to folders and other environment resources. Involve the IIS administrator in planning the K2 installation, configuration, and Web application design.

Host Headers and Ports

Understand how to use host headers and ports and how to reference them properly when setting SPNs for Kerberos implementations.

MetaBase.xml

The settings contained in the MetaBase.xml file must be accurate when implementing Kerberos. Refer to the installation documentation for setting SPNs for Kerberos and editing the Metabase.xml for more information.

While infrastructure changes are required by K2, each environment is different and has its peculiarities which must be taken into account. Modifying the infrastructure could have unforeseen results if the changes are not appropriately understood or managed. Given the broad spectrum of underlying infrastructure utilized, it is recommended that a panel or committee with appropriate skill in each area concerned be assembled to outline the underlying infrastructure changes and gauge the impact of the required changes.
