Problem when upgrading Dashboard Server from version 3.1 to 3.2.0.71

[Birgita Juliana]

Dear support team,

I want to ask you something.

I already upgrade the version of Dashboard Server from version 3.1 to 3.2.0.71. But i have a problem now.

When i want to access the dashboard server from local computer with the link like i used usually, the link automatically goes directly to user management server's link. Should i re-configure the port number and host name to access the dashboard server in Internet Information Services?  

For your information,

i used:

- port 80 and host name : bi.aprisma.sys for dashboard server

- port 8081 for user management server.

I still want to access the dashboard server with link "bi.aprisma.sys", is it possible or not? Because when i try to access the dashboard server using that link, it's automatically goes directly to localhost:8081, where the port is belong to user management server.

Thank you so much for your attention.

Best Regards,

Juliana

 Hi Juliana,  

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.  

 

Our latest version of Dashboard Server comes with User Management Server which is a common IdP for managing users and groups. If you want to access Dashboard Server outside the machine via IIS, you need to host both Dashboard Server and User Management Server in IIS and assign DNS for both the applications.  

 

I still want to access the dashboard server with link "bi.aprisma.sys", is it possible or not?

Yes. It is possible.     You need to add bindings to UMS in IIS with the existing domain name "bi.aprisma.sys" and port number as “8081”(or a new DNS accessible outside the machine).     Now the UMS will be working outside the machine with DNS “bi.aprisma.sys:8081”.     Now the same has to be updated in the Dashboard Server config.xml file. Please refer the below help documentation link,   https://help.syncfusion.com/dashboard-platform/dashboard-server/faq#how-to-change-ums-url-client-id-and-client-secret-in-dashboard-server

Because when i try to access the dashboard server using that link, it's automatically goes directly to localhost:8081, where the port is belong to user management server.

This is because, the User Management Server which is to be redirected by the Dashboard Server is stored in the Dashboard Server config.xml file. If you follow the above step and change the URL in those files, it will be redirected to the mentioned DNS instead of localhost.

 

Thanks,
