NOTE: We do not recommend deploying our web application on a server running Active Directory, Share Point or SQL Server.

WAN deployment ONLY:
we advise that you consult with a network security firm to help reduce the risk of possible attacks on your IIS server. and to secure your server with a valid SSL Certificate. Microix Cloud Companion is an ASP.NET application utilizing .NET framework 4.0 or higher. If Microix databases are installed on a SQL server with other sensitive data, we recommend limiting our SQL account "microixsysadmin" only the Microix and MIP databases. Additionally, for WAN deployment, we recommend placing your IIS server in a DMZ as it adds an extra layer of security between the exposed server and your intranet. However, you will still need to configure your firewall to allow the IIS server access to your intranet SQL server where Microix databases resides.
