How to: Create a Master Data Manager Web Application (Master Data Services)

Create a Master Data Manager Web application when you need a new Web application to associate with the Master Data Services database. You can create the Web application in a new Web site or an existing Web site in Internet Information Services (IIS) on the local computer.

Prerequisites

To create a Master Data Manager Web application in a new Web site

When you create a new Web site in Master Data Services Configuration Manager, the root Web application is configured as the Master Data Manager Web application and the application is added to a new application pool. With this procedure, you cannot specify a virtual path and alias of the Master Data Manager Web application. If you want to specify a virtual path and alias for Master Data Manager, you must create a Web application in an existing Web site that is not already configured as a Master Data Manager Web application.

Additionally, Master Data Services Configuration Manager supports creating sites with HTTP bindings only. For more information about adding an HTTPS binding to a site that you create in Master Data Services Configuration Manager, see Next Steps for links to Internet Information Services (IIS) documentation.

To create a Master Data Manager Web application in a new Web site

  1. Open Master Data Services Configuration Manager.

  2. In the left pane, click Web Configuration.

  3. On the Web Configuration page, click Create Site.
