You can configure the Web App Server from the Roles view of System task in Security Center Config Tool.

Genetec Web App Server - Properties tab

On the Properties page, you can configure the following:

Application path

The web address URL segment that creates the base address of your web application.

URL

The URL that users enter in their browser to connect to the Genetec™ Web App. The URL for the Genetec Web App has the following format: https://<host>:<port>/<web address>

<host> represents the IP address or host name of the server that hosts the Web App Server role.
<port> represents the HTTPS port used by the Web App Server role. Port 443 is used by default. To use a different port, you must clear the Use the default secure HTTP port of the server option and change the value in the HTTPS port field.
<web address> represents the URL segment used to create the base address of your web application. This segment differs based on the upgrade history of your Security Center system:
- New systems use /WebApp as the default.
- Upgraded systems continue to use the previous address.

NOTE: Each Web App Server role requires a unique URL. To change the URL, you can edit the value in the Application path field. Changing the URL restarts the Web App Server role.

Enable load balancing

If your system includes multiple resources under the Web App Server role, you can enable load-balancing. Based on the load of each Web App Server role, the Genetec Web App specifies which role should service that session.

NOTE: If you are using a third-party load balancer, you must clear this option.

Use the default web ports of the server

When enabled, the Web App Server role uses the web ports that are configured in Server Admin. By default, the Genetec Web App communicates over HTTPS port 443. These ports are defined on the server that hosts the Web App Server role. To change the default port, clear this option and change the port number.

Features

Select the Security Center features you want to access on the Genetec Web App. If your system has multiple Media Gateway roles, click Video feature settings (

) and select the Media Gateway role that you want to use for this Web App Server role.

Advanced settings

These advanced settings are reserved for use by Genetec Technical Support.

Web App Server - Resources tab

Click the Resources tab to configure the servers hosting this role. The Web App Server role does not require a database. You can add more than one server for failover and load balancing.
