Choosing the deployment type

The Oracle InForm Adapter ODM Export interface comes with:

• Three variations of the web.config file to support the different configurations that are used to deploy provisioning.
• The utility WebConfigFileSelector.cmd, which you use to set the appropriate config file for your configuration type.

To select the deployment type:

1. Open a Command Prompt window and change to the <InForm_Adapter_installation_directory>\ODMWCF\ directory.
2. Issue the following command:

   
   WebConfigFileSelector.cmd CONFIGURATION

   where CONFIGURATION specifies the deployment type.

   For example:

   
   WebConfigFileSelector.cmd F5

   The utility replaces the InFormAdapter\ODMWCF\web.config file with one of the following files.

Deployment type	Deployment type configuration option	Config file	Details
Default	SECURE	Web_secure.config	Secure configuration for client requests sent over the Internet. Supports HTTPS transport using SOAP 1.2. Requires a Username Token in the SOAP Security header for providing the user name and password credentials to authenticate a request.
Load balanced	F5	Web_secure_F5.config	Secure configuration for client requests sent over the Internet using a network load balancer. Supports HTTPS into the network load balancer and HTTP out of it using SOAP 1.2. Requires a Username Token in the SOAP Security header for providing the user name and password credentials to authenticate a request.
LAN access	UNSECURE	Web_nosecurity.config	Unsecure configuration for client requests sent over a LAN from behind a firewall. Supports HTTP transport and SOAP 1.2. Does not perform request authentication.
