Install Sana Proxy Service for NAV 2009 Three-Tier Installation

If each of the three Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 tiers (client, server and database) are installed on a separate computer, the so called three-tier installation on three computers, then you must also install the Sana proxy service to be able to connect the Sana webstore to your Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 system.

The Sana proxy service must be installed on the same computer where Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server is installed or on the customer network where it can connect to the NAV Server. You will need to deploy the Sana proxy service to IIS on the server.

The registered Sana partners can download the Sana proxy service on the Sana Community website where the Sana packages for Microsoft Dynamics NAV are stored.
