Considerations: Web rendering

Consider this information:

  • Do you want your users to be able to view forms through the web client? Reasons your users may want the web client as opposed to the smart client include access on computers that require a zero client footprint (no file downloads), non-Windows computers, mobile devices, or use inside of Infor OS.
  • If you do want to include the web client, do you want it to be run from a server that is also performing other work, such as servicing the smart client or running TaskMan, or do you want to set up a dedicated server for the web rendering engine?

    Although firm guidelines are not defined, if you expect a very high volume of your users to use the web client, then you might want to dedicate a server for this purpose.

  • Use the DMZ Server installation option in deployments where the IDO Request Service and WSWebClient web applications are installed on a machine without the full application/web server components. You can choose this option if you do not want to expose your server directly to the internet and do not want to place a load balancer or other hardware between the server and the internet.
