If you installed and tested the e-Business site while the web server was on the same domain as the database server, detach the web server from the domain and install it in the DMZ, attaching it to either a workgroup or another domain.

After moving the web server to the DMZ, repeat your tests to confirm that the site functions correctly and that you can log in and create new web users.

Keep in mind the following points:

• As described in Step 1 - Establishing Cross-Domain Communication, you will need to open up any applicable firewall ports to allow the web server in the DMZ to communicate with the database server on the internal network.
• Aptify strongly recommends that you use HTTP over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to secure the e-Business site's content that cannot be accessed without logging in first. This will create an HTTPS site for non-public content.

Note Concerning Component Art Control in e-Business 5.5

The Aptify Web Menu control leverages the menu control provided by ComponentArt in ComponentArt.Web.UI.dll. e‐Business 5.5 provides an updated version of this control in several ASP.NET versions. The installation process will deploy the ASP.NET 4.0 version of ComponentArt.Web.UI.dll to the website’s bin directory.

ASP.NET 4.0 is required to install e‐Business 5.5 and Aptify recommends that all new e‐Business 5.5 sites run ASP.NET 4.0. However, if you are updating an existing site that is running under an
earlier version of ASP.NET, you need to copy the appropriate version of the ComponentArt.Web.UI.dll (found under the ComponentArt Control folder of the APTIFY_550_eBiz_UPDATE distribution file) to the site’s bin directory, overwriting the existing version, to update to the latest ComponentArt version. Also, if your site’s application pool is not using ASP.NET 2.0, you can select another version of the ComponentArt.Web.UI.dll that matches your site’s .NET version.

See the readme.txt file in the Web Site Updates > Component Art Control folder of the APTIFY_550_eBiz_UPDATE distribution files for more details.

Note Concerning the Sitefinity Integration Web Service in e-Business 5.5

For e‐Business 5.5, the Aptify Sitefinity Web Service supports Sitefinity version 4.4. However, Aptify still provides the 3.7 version for existing 3.7 sites if needed. See the readme.txt file in the Web Site Updates > Sitefinity Web Service folder of the APTIFY_550_eBiz_UPDATE distribution files for more details.

Note Concerning the Starter Message Templates in e-Business 5.5

For e‐Business 5.5, the Aptify Messaging service includes starter templates that are populated with Aptify specific details. As a result, Aptify suggests users review, test, and update the message templates and check that message part links refer to the correct records and their PartIDs before use. For additional details on this please refer to the Important Notes and Issues section of the Aptify e-Business 5.5 Release Notes.
