The system requirements for a Meridian site cache server are intentionally minimal to make it easy to deploy site caches on existing hardware resources:
-
A web server at the remote site with one of the Internet Information Services versions installed that are listed in Web Servers and Browsers.
These are the minimum role services must be installed for proper operation:
-
IIS > Web Server > Common HTTP Features > Static Content
-
IIS > Web Server > Common HTTP Features > HTTP Redirect
-
IIS > Web Server > Security > Windows Authentication
-
.NET Framework 4.5 > ASP.NET 4.5
-
.NET Framework 4.5 > WCF Services > HTTP Activation
Note:-
HTTP Secure (HTTPS) is supported by:
-
Configuring the BCSiteCache and BCSiteCacheClient web applications as described in Configure HTTPS.
-
Create self signed certificates for all Meridian Enterprise web servers, the Meridian Enterprise Server computer, and the site cache servers. On each web server, add the certificates for the other servers to the Trusted Root store. On the client PCs, add the certificates for the servers to the Trusted Root store.
-
-
If the Request Filtering feature option Allow unlisted file name extensions is disabled in IIS Manager, the following file extensions must be added to the File Name Extensions list and allowed: .dll,.gif,.png,.js,.css.
-
-
Microsoft URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS (x64)
-
Adequate free disk space for the cached documents and metadata. The amount depends on the size of the document collections that are cached.
-
The site cache component requires that a Site Cache Server license (part number contains M--SCH) be registered in the License Server if the component is not installed on the same computer as Meridian Enterprise Server.
-
In environments with multiple Meridian Enterprise Server servers, all repositories must have unique names.
-
The connections between the Meridian Enterprise EDM servers and the Meridian Enterprise Server servers must specify a UPN as described in the Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide. We highly recommend that all Meridian Enterprise services and web applications run under the same system account, which can be specified during installation.
-
Bi-directional network communications between the site cache server and the Meridian Enterprise Server computers where it is registered.
