Alternate Vault Installations and Configuration

When using the custom install option certain files must be configured to allow Aras Innovator components to work together.

1. Run a custom installation to set up the new vault, which in this example, is called New.

   1. Pick a folder location, for example, C:\Support\WebApplications\VaultFolderName
   2. Choose Custom

   3. Select Vault Server ONLY ( you do not need to select OAuth Server)

      

      

   4. Use same password for OAuth as that in the web app installation. Copy OAuth certificates path to installation location.
   5. Specify a unique Vault name such as Version_YourName_VaultID. Update the Application Server URL and Local Path for Files accordingly.
   6. Install.

2. Configure the new vault, which in this example, we call New.

   The Database must point to the designated vault location. To set up the vault:

   1. Log in as administrator.
   2. Select Administration>File Handling>Vaults from the TOC. The Vaults menu appears.

   3. Click Create New Vault. The following dialog appears:

      

      

      Figure 35.

   4. Enter the following information in the appropriate fields:

      • Name: New (The name of the vault server we are configuring)

      • Vault Url Pattern: this is the IIS path to the VaultServer.aspx. Because this is not the default vault the URL should be hard coded:

        • http://<servername>/<web_alias>/vault/VaultServer.aspx

          When a vault is installed stand-alone, the default web alias is: http://<servername>/vault/VaultServer.aspx

      • Vault Url: Leave blank. It gets filled automatically when you save the new vault.
   5. Click the Save, unclaim, and close button.

3. The Vault Server should have access to the Aras Innovator Server and Database Server, meaning that the vault server must know the location of the InnovatorServer.aspx. Use the following procedure to configure it:

   1. Open the file vault.config. This file should be located in the root of the installed directory for the Vault server, for example:C:\Program Files\Aras\Innovator\VaultServer\vault.config

   2. Change the key InnovatorServerUrl to point to the InnovatorServer.aspx. So, <add key="InnovatorServerUrl” value="$[HTTP_PREFIX_SERVER]$[HTTP_HOST_SERVER]$[HTTP_PORT_SERVER]$[HTTP_PATH_SERVER]/Server/innovatorserver.aspx” />

      becomes:

      <add key="InnovatorServerUrl” value="http://<servername>/<web_alias>/Server/innovatorserver.aspx” />

   3. Change the vault name in the file, to the name of the server we are using, in this case New. <add key="VaultServerName” value="default” />

      becomes:

      <add key="VaultServerName” value="new” />
