How to make read-only page available to employees

Hi, I want to make the "read only" page in VV Engine 2.0 (Build 2002) available to employees who are affected by the replication process, without them having to have access to the server on which VV is installed.

The page is coming up with IP address 127.0.0.1:8001/readonly.htm. I went into IIS and added a new binding with the server IP address and port number 8001, but that didn't help.

How can I set this page up to be available from my customers workstation?

Any help is appreciated.

Hello

would you like to make this page available via ISS ?

You would need to have a program that pulls the page and saves it in the ISS directory to make it accessible via ISS.

thanks

I would like to make it available the best way possible, and I am somewhat familiar with IIS so I was hoping that was the web service VV Engine was using, I guess it is not?

Where would I find this page to pull from? Is there a better method than using IIS? Can I just reassign the ip address in VV somewhere from local host 127.0.0.1 to the server IP address?

I added my IP address in the VVEngine Settings and that did not help. What address do I give my customers? Do I not need to make any changes at all, just give them an address?

Hi, VVEngine does not use ISS.

To connect to VVEngine your users should use the IP address of the server , for instance:

http://192.168.1.1:8001/readonly.htm

where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the server and 8001 is the (default) port used by VVEngine (the port can be changed in the VVEngine settings).

You will also need to allow the HTTP protocol on port 8001 in any firewalls (software / physical) you may have setup.

You will also need to allow the remote IP address you want to allow to connect in the VVEngine settings.

thanks
