SuperOffice uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). This means WCF must be installed on the same server as the NetServer web services are installed.

Plus any authentication methods that you wish to use.

Note

Forms authentication must not be used; we have made our own forms authentication.

For Service and Marketing the following features must be turned on

    If you do not want to Allow unspecified CGI modules it is also possible to use "Add..." to add each CGI file separately. This, however, requires you to make sure any new CGI files from Customer Service are added here.

  6. Click Add..., navigate to the [Service installation]\www\scripts folder, and add one by one all .exe files in this folder. For each, write some description and tick Allow extension path to execute.
