Install IIS and .NET on the Keyfactor Command Server

Internet Information Services (IIS) and .NET 4.7.2 or greater must be installed on the Keyfactor Command server(s) prior to installation of the Keyfactor Command software.

IIS is a standard Windows role added through the Windows Server Manager tool and .NET is a standard Windows feature added through the Windows Server Manager tool. You may need to update to .NET 4.7.2 or greater with a downloadable update package or through Windows update.

Important:  IIS needs to be configured to allow requests using the HTTP verbs DELETE, GET, POST and PUT to reach the Default Web Site (or other web site if you choose to install to an alternate web site). These are enabled by default. To check whether any of these have been disabled, open the IIS Management console, drill down to highlight the Default Web Site, double-click Request Filtering in the center pane, and review the information on the HTTP Verbs tab.

To verify the version of .NET installed, either:

  1. Open the Registry Editor:

    regedit
  2. Navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full
  3. Validate that the Release attribute value indicates a version of .NET Framework that is 4.7.2 or higher is installed, as shown in Table 852: .NET Framework Release Values.

Or:

  1. Open a command prompt or PowerShell window and type the following command:

    reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full"
  2. Validate that the Release attribute value indicates a version of .NET Framework that is 4.7.2 or higher is installed, as shown in Table 852: .NET Framework Release Values.
