Developing and Deploying Applications on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)

1. Developing and Deploying Applications on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Thomas Deml Group Program Manager Web Platform And Tools Microsoft Corporation

2. Agenda • Getting started • Review of the web platform stack • Demo: Downloading the web platform stack • Getting productive • Extend an application using IIS’ total extensibility • Demo: Extend web application with custom functionality • Going live • From your dev box to the live server • Demo: Deploying an app to a live server via explorer • Fine-tuning and troubleshooting: • Management, monitoring and troubleshooting • Demo: Database manager, powershell and request tracing • Going public • Submit to the web application gallery

3. demo Getting Started: Installing the Web Platform Stack

4. Top 8 Reasons to Move to IIS7 • 8. Security • Feature delegation, built-in accounts, Application pool isolation, rich authentication and authorization infrastructure, request filtering • 7. Single platform for both ASP.NET and PHP • Integrated Pipeline, FastCGI • 6. High availability • Rich process model • 5. Performance • Optimized for multi-proc environments, compression, SSL in kernel-mode

5. Top 8 Reasons to Move to IIS7 • 4. Diagnostics • Powerful, extensible diagnostics stack, run-time data • 3. Configuration system • Readable, extensible, delegateable, distributed, centralized • 2. Administration • User interface, remoteable, command-line tools, scripting and rich API set • 1. Extensibility • Run-time, configuration, diagnostics stack and user interface

6. IIS Application Extensions

7. IIS7 Server Extensions

8. Total Extensibility • Server run-time • Extend IIS in native or managed code via the integrated pipeline • Configuration system • Extend the configuration system with a simple XML file. Automatic support in the user interface, command-line, script, native and managed code apis • Tracing • Follow your requests from start to finish: get detailed errors, monitor currently executing requests, go deep with request traces • User interface • Integrate your own user interface with a few lines of code, get automatic remoting and delegation

9. Run-time ExtensibilityIIS6 Architecture • Monolithic server implementation • Limited customization • Fixed functionality • Limited ISAPI Filter extensibility

10. Extensibility IIS7 Architecture • Componentized server • Pluggable modular functionality • Small generic request pipeline • Enables • Lightweight servers • Custom/specialized servers

11. Extensibility IIS6 + ASP.NET • ISAPI extension • Only processes ASP.NET requests • Runtime limitations • Feature duplication

12. IIS7 ASP.NET Integration • Classic mode • For compatibility • Integrated mode (Integrated pipeline) • Can process all requests • Enhanced functionality • Higher fidelity notifications

13. .NET Extensibility • Existing ASP.NET API • IHttpModule and IHttpHandler types • Expanded ASP.NET APIs • New HttpApplication Events • MapRequestHandler, LogRequest, PostLogRequest • HttpRequest.Headers • HttpResponse.Headers • HttpResponse.DisableKernelCache • HttpRequest.ServerVariables

14. Handlers versus Modules • Modules provide services to all requests • Basic authentication module • Compression module (etc) • Handlers provide services to specific extensions • ISAPI handler (.dll) • Static handler (.htm, .jpg, .gif, etc) • IIS 7 pipeline allows native and managed modules and handlers • “Integrated” application pool mode • Use the managed modules and handlers • “Classic” application pool • IIS 6 style invocation of .NET

15. demo Getting Productive: Extending an Existing Application

16. Going Live • Package and deploy your web application with the web deployment tool • You don’t have to be admin • Deployment via • IIS management snap-in • Remote manager • Command-line • Api • Powershell • Can also be used for • Synchronization • Incremental sync support • Backup • Versioning

17. demo Deploying an App to a Live Server

18. Managing the Server • User interface remoted via HTTPS • Non-admin and delegation support • Command-line • Powershell snap-in • Appcmd • Scripting • Powershell • COM via AHAdmin • WMI • APIs • Configuration API • Microsoft.Web.Administration

19. demo Managing Your Web Application on a Live Server

20. Summary • IIS7 is built with total extensibility in mind • Run-time • Configuration system • User interface • Diagnostics • IIS7 application and server extensions offer compelling functionality

21. IIS7 Extensions Database manager WebDav Web platform installer URL rewriter Application request router Remote manager Web deployment tool FTP server Powershell snap-in Media services Admin pack Dynamic IP restrictions

22. Please Complete an Evaluation FormYour feedback is important! • Evaluation forms can be found on each chair • Temp Staff at the back of the room have additional evaluation form copies
