8.3.1 Configuring IIS as the web server
Using IIS as the web server gives you more advanced authentication features and the possibility
to secure the connection via SSL. The integration with IIS is very straightforward. GFI Network
Server Monitor updates an XML file, from which the 2 views are rendered. These files are stored
in the GFI Network Server Monitor\Server\web folder. You need to create a virtual directory in
IIS, which points to the GFI Network Server Monitor\Server\Web folder. To do this:
1. Start up Internet Services Manager, right click on the „Web Site‟ node, and from the popup
menu select „New – Virtual Directory‟.
