Installation
Make sure
all Windows programs are closed before you begin the installation.
Run the 2X
Access Portal setup program by double clicking on the
‘2XWebPortal.msi’, or
‘2X WebPortal-x64.msi’ file
on the IIS machine that will be used as your access point to the published
applications from the Web Portal.
We recommend
that you do not install the 2X Cloud
Portal on an Active Directory machine.

The 2X Web
Server Port screen displays and you are asked to assign the port on which the 2X
Web Service will be installed. By default, the 2X Cloud Portal is installed on
port 81.
NOTE:
The 2X Secure Client
Gateway is installed on port 80 by default and is configured to forward
HTTP requests to the local host, on port 81. Therefore, Clients will still be
able to access the 2X Web Portal from port 80. You can choose to install the 2X
Web Service on any other port, and you can also use an existing port used by
other web sites.
In this
scenario, the service will be installed under the web site configured on port
81. Click
‘Next’.
