How to manually set up an additional non-SSO web site (CP 2017)

For some activities, a non-SSO (Single Sign On) Enterprise web site is required:

  • Report scheduling / pre-rendering
  • Client Portal
  • Survey Response website

In case the Changepoint Website is configured to use SSO, a second non-SSO web site has to be set up.

As the Changepoint installer always install all components (Changepoint + API + Redis + Intelligent Forms), a non-SSO web site can also be set up manually:

1. Copy the Enterprise folder, e.g. to EnterpriseNoSSO

2. Create 3 new application pools EnterpriseNoSSO, EnterpriseNoSSO_Rest, EnterpriseNoSSO_WebScockets with the same properties as the existing application pools. Please check especially the following attributes and compare with the application pools of the web site that was copied:

Also make sure that the identity used for the new application pools corresponds to those used in the original application pools.

3. Create a new EnterprisNoSSO website using the new folder and the new application pool:

Ensure that the user used for anonymous authentication is the same as configured for the original web site.

4. Create two new applications 'rest' and 'WebSockets' using the other two new application pools:



(the rest application is based on the folder WebApi).

  • It is not necessary to create any other elements like for Cognos, CPWebServices or Infinity/Intelligent forms
  • It is not necessary to do any connection settings as they have been copied over from the source Enterprise web site in the web.config files

It is however necessary to run the powershell script as per the installation guide to change the new EnterpriseNoSSO website to Application Authentication.
