To configure Site Manager for MultiSite integration, the following steps must be followed.
Security Configuration
To ensure that no security issues can arise as a result of enabling MultiSite Integration, the following security options must be set in the Settings page under Security:
| Name | Required Setting |
|---|---|
| Access Restriction - Allow Access to Site Manager without login | Off - user login must be enabled |
| Access Restriction - Network Access | Any computer with network access to the server can access Site Manager |
| Connection Settings | HTTPS communication must be enabled |
| Connection Settings - Port | Any port may be used |
Remote Management
Remote mangement of Site Manager must be enabled in the Remote Management section of Settings.
The options available are:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable | Toggles Remote Management access on and off |
| API Key | Security key required by MultiSite to access Site Manager remotely. If this key is changed, MultiSite access will fail until MultiSite is updated with the new key |
| Copy | Copies the API key to the clipboard |
| Generate New Key | Generates a new random key. The key is not in effect until Save is pressed |
Port Redirection
Finally, the interface port of Site Manager must be accessible to the internet for incoming connections so that MultiSite can connect to it. This can be on any port of an internet accessible IP address or domain name.
For example, if Site Manager is running on an internal host called sm-server running on the default port of 2904, your internal network can be configured to route incoming connections on sm.yourdomain.com on port 44853 to the internal server sm-server port 2904. MultiSite can then be configured to manage this Site Manager using the externally configured address, port and the API key.
All communications between MultiSite and Site Manager use HTTPS using the certificate configured in Settings → Security. No unencrypted data is transferred.
