AX Three Tier Environment and DMZ
Applies to the Microsoft Dynamics AX .NET Business Connector with the custom AX Web services implemented by Sana.
If you use the three-tier architecture of Microsoft Dynamics AX and install Application Object Server (AOS) and Web services on different computers that are located in a demilitarized zone (DMZ), that is a network configuration when most computers on the LAN run behind a firewall adding an extra layer of security, then you need to add the Microsoft Dynamics AX user account credentials to the Web services configuration file of Microsoft Dynamics AX (web.config).
Step 1: Open the Web services configuration file of Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Step 2: Locate the <appSettings> section and add the credentials of the Microsoft Dynamics AX user account. Add the following lines and specify the username, password and domain of the Microsoft Dynamics AX user account:
<add key="UserName" value="AXUser"/> <!-- Axapta user name -->
<add key="Domain" value="DOMAIN"/> <!-- Axapta user domain -->
<add key="UserPassword" value="passw0rd"/> <!-- Axapta user password -->For more information about Microsoft Dynamics AX user account, see Create Domain Accounts.
If you specify the credentials of the Microsoft Dynamics AX user account in the Microsoft Dynamics AX Web services configuration file, then the credentials specified in the Microsoft Dynamics AX connection string in the web.config file of the Sana Commerce webshop and backoffice will be ignored.
