Create a SharePoint Web Application

Prerequisites

• These instructions apply only if you plan to install SharePoint Integration, which is an optional component.

How to Start

1. From the SharePoint Central Administration page, click the Application Management tab.

Procedure

1. In the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click the Create or extend Web application link.
2. Click the Create a new Web application link. The Create New Web Application page appears.
3. In the IIS Web Site section, it is recommended to select the Create a new IIS web site option and use the default Port number and Path. If necessary, specify a Host Header name.
   Note: If your AgilePoint Server instance uses HTTPS, to use on-premises SharePoint, the web application for your SharePoint site must be configured to use HTTPS.
4. In the Security Configuration section, select either NTLM or Kerberos depending on your preferred network authentication mode.
5. In the Load Balanced URL section, accept the default values.
6. In the Application Pool section, it is recommended to create a new unique application pool for this Web site. When entering a security account, use a different local administrator account (not the AgilePoint System User account).
   Note: You can choose not to use a local administrator account. However, this requires additional configuration. For more information, refer to How Do I Connect On-Premises SharePoint Integration to the Windows Event Log?.
7. In the Reset Internet Information Services section, accept the default value.
8. In the Database Name and Authentication section, accept the default values.
9. Click OK. The Application Created page appears.
10. Click the Create Site Collection link.
11. Complete the fields as desired. For the Site Collection Administrator, it is recommended to not use the same name that was used as the Identity account for the application pool.
12. After the Top-Level site is created, click OK.
