RE: [Axapta-Knowledge-Village] AOS required for Enterprise Portal?

Hi James
 

You may have to deal with some tradeoffs here. It is not advisable to have your web server and database sever on the same box for security/performance reasons. Also it is advisable not to have your web server on your network. So ideally, for security reasons, you should put your web server in front of the firewall of your network and then place another firewall in front of that for incoming clients. If a user breaks thru the first firewall he will have access to your network if there is no firewall between the web server and you network. Also if the web server is not behind a firewall it is open to the world. But the more tiers you add to your configuration the more performance will degrade as a result of the network hops. You could optimize the links between the firewalls and the web sever by using high speed network card/connections.

Sorry one last question on this,
 
Is it advisable to have the DB and IIS on the same server?  I only expect one or two customer logins to the EP at any given time and the load from 2 tier users on the DB does not seem that bad but I am wondering what will happen if there is alot of activity (e.g. maybe attempted attack on the web site) coming into the IIS....
 
I am just wondering is there any guideline for both performance and security reasons sa to the configuration?
 
Thanks

I have experimented with Enterprise Portal and I got it to without going thru an AOS (2-Tier). However, if there are a lot of users that will be accessing Axapta thru the Enterprise Portal you will have to think about scalability. Going thru the AOS you will have reasonable performance with additional users as the number of users grow but with 2-Tier the performance will fall drastically when the number of users exceed a certain limit which depends on things like sever specs and type of communication links.

I would just like to check, is an Axapta Object server required for
Enterprise portal?  In the MBS price list it is not a pre requisite but I am
not sure if that is because it is assummed one comes in the Base Package.
My problem is I have old customer who bought the professional version of
Axapta (no longer offered) and so do not have any AOS in their license.

Thanks
James
