Configure Anywhere Portal

Cloud configuration

For setting up the Portal to connect to a cloud instance or Azure tenant, see here.

On-premise configuration

An overview of all application settings for the Portal is available here.

After installing the Mobile Portal, carry out the following configuration steps:

  1. Set the properties for the web service. In Internet Information Services (IIS), go to the newly created website: Administrative Tools > IIS Manager > <servername> > Web Sites > Default Web Site > DAW > PRD > Portal.

    • Select Portal and find the next view. Authentication
    • Go to Authentication and enable anonymous access. Set the user as the same user running the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Server [DynamicsNAV]. This installation guide uses "NetworkService" as a built-in account. If this is the same user as the application pool, you can select application pool identity.

  2. Select the Application settings.

  3. Set WebServiceURL to your Microsoft Dynamics Business Web Services location. For a default installation it is similar to: http://<servername>:7047/DynamicsNAV100/WS/. You can also open the Web Services page and copy the SOAP URL from the NDAW Web Service line. Remove the remaining string after WS/.
