Quick Task Reference

Day 3-4: Web Deployment

Web Server Configuration

Component	Configuration
IIS Setup	Install IIS with WebSocket support
Application Pool	Configure .NET CLR version
SSL Certificate	Install and bind certificate
FrameworX Web	Enable web server, set ports
Authentication	Configure Windows/Forms auth
Client URL	https://server/frameworkxImage Removed

Lab: Deploy Secure Web Access

1. Generate SSL certificate
2. Configure HTTPS binding on port 443
3. Enable Windows authentication
4. Set up application pool:
   • .NET CLR Version: v4.0
   • Identity: ApplicationPoolIdentity
   • Recycling: Daily at 3 AM
5. Test from remote browser
6. Monitor performance metrics

Day 5: Security Implementation

Security Architecture Layers

Security Configuration Checklist

1. Network segmentation implemented
2. Firewalls configured
3. SSL certificates installed
4. Active Directory integrated
5. Role-based access configured
6. Audit logging enabled
7. Backup strategy implemented
8. Disaster recovery tested

Week 2: Advanced Topics

const apiConfig = {
    baseURL: 'https://frameworkx-server/api',
    endpoints: {
        tags: '/tags',
        alarms: '/alarms',
        historical: '/historian'
    },
    authentication: {
        type: 'Bearer',
        token: 'your-api-token'
