# Manually Configuring the CLIMS Connection to Ingress

Recommended reading: Ingress

If you installed or upgraded the CLIMS Server first before installing Ingress, establish their connection by following the steps below depending on your installation or upgrade scenario:

# Local Setup

If the CLIMS Server and Ingress are installed on the same machine, you only need to restart the CLIMS Server website in IIS:

1. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

2. Under the Connections pane, expand the root node and Sites.

   

   IIS: Home
   
   

3. Click Open iT CLIMS Server.

   

   IIS: Open iT CLIMS Server
   
   

4. Under the Actions pane, in Manage Website, click Restart.

   

   IIS: Restart Website
   
   

# Remote Setup

If the CLIMS Server and Ingress are installed on separate machines, make sure that the CLIMS Server knows the Ingress URL to connect to, then restart the CLIMS Server website in IIS.

If the Ingress URL was not specified during CLIMS Server installation:

1. Go to the Configuration folder, which is C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Zero\Configuration by default.

2. Create a copy of Ingress.json and rename the duplicate file to Ingress.Override.json.

   Open the existing Ingress.Override.json, if there is already one.

3. In the override file, change the value of uri to the Ingress URL (e.g., https://customer.openit.cloud).

   Sample Ingress.Override.json

   1 |  {
   2 |    "uri": "https://customer.openit.cloud",
   3 |    "checkSslValidity": false
   4 |  }

4. Save the file.

5. Go back to the Configuration folder, which is C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Zero\Configuration by default.

6. Create a copy of Authentication.json and rename the duplicate file to Authentication.Override.json.

   Open the existing Authentication.Override.json, if there is already one.

7. In the override file, change the URL value of Authority to the Ingress URL (e.g., https://customer.openit.cloud).

   Make sure to add /clims/Auth after the URL.

   Sample Authentication.Override.json

   1 | {
   2 |     "AuthenticationMethod": "Oidc",
   3 |     "Oidc": {
   4 |         "Authority": "https://customer.openit.cloud/clims/Auth",
   ...

8. Save the file.

Once the Ingress URL is specified on the necessary configuration files:

1. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

2. Under the Connections pane, expand the root node and Sites.

   

   IIS: Home
   
   

3. Click Open iT CLIMS Server.

   

   IIS: Open iT CLIMS Server
   
   

4. Under the Actions pane, in Manage Website, click Restart.
