General Requirements
Specific Requirements
Note: The Lucity REST API uses basic authentication. It is recommended that you deploy this application under SSL.
Getting Started
Note: Depending on which database you are using (Oracle or SQL Server), select the appropriate radio button. Then, enter the appropriate DB connection information based on your database type. Note that these need to be existing databases as the installation will not be creating databases for you.
Oracle Users: The following versions/components are required: 10gR2 (version 10.2.0.1) and ODP.NET 2.0 (version 10.2.0.2.20). Checks are performed for these components. If any fail, you'll receive an error message stating the particular problem. If a problem is found, the installation will be terminated.
Note: This screen will appear only if more than one site is defined in IIS. If there is only one web site, this screen will not appear.
Note: If you enable this option but do not perform the required SSL configuration steps in IIS, REST API will not run properly.
