SmartForms Runtime Site

The SmartForms Runtime Site configuration page establishes where the Runtime site must be installed. This can be the same site as the K2 Designer site (design time) or it can be a separate site.

The SmartForms Runtime Site configuration page enables:

  1. The creation of the SmartForms Runtime Site.
  2. The ability to select an existing site if one exists.

Feature Description

Create a New Web Site

If you want to create a new site type the name in the Web Site Name field, and K2 will create it automatically for you.

Use an Existing Web Site Name

The name of the site that was created under IIS. When selecting "Use an existing Web Site", the specified site must already exist.

Note: The site can be created without closing the K2 Setup Manager. Click Refresh to reload the list of available web site options.
Make this the primary runtime site Select the check box if this site is to be used as the primary runtime site. For more information see the topic Design Time versus Runtime Sites.
Bindings The Bindings button will let you see the bindings in use and which is selected as the default.

If no site is listed in the Web Site drop down, one may need to be created. Type in the name of the web site you want to create, and K2 will do the rest. If a site was recently created and does not display, you may need to perform an IIS reset. Then, click the Refresh button on this Form.

Bindings refers to the bindings for the website as set up in IIS.

The Bindings page can be shown by clicking the Bindings button, but will otherwise be hidden as the Setup Manager takes care of Bindings configuration in the background, except under the following conditions:

  1. The Bindings page will be shown if you have a Binding on your website set up in IIS with a wildcard certificate and with no host name entry. In this case the Bindings page will show a Binding in this format:
    https://[MachineName].[domain].com:443
    You're free to use this if you do not want to set up a Host Header. If you want to use a Host Header, see the following points:
  2. The Bindings page will be shown if the Setup Manager detects that the value (WebServiceServerURL) in the Workspace web.config file does not match the selected Binding in the Bindings page. In this case you will need to select the Binding seen in the web.config for your site to work.

If, during an Upgrade or Reconfigure, the selected Bindings don't match the STS Issuers in the database, the Resolve STS Issuers page will be shown. See the Resolve Security Token Service Issuers topic for more information.

To configure the SmartForms Runtime Site:

Option 1-Create a new web site:

  1. Enter the name for the New web site and K2 will create the URL.

  3. Click Next to proceed.
  4. The Setup Manager will create the new Web site.
  5. The Bindings button will let you see the bindings in use and which is selected as the default.

  2. Click on the Browse button and select a certificate if an existing certificate should be used for the site. If a certificate is not selected, the Setup Manager will automatically create a K2 certificate.
  3. Click Next to proceed.
