2. NI Web Server Setup

NI Web Server is based on Apache httpd and includes the NI Web Server Configuration utility to guide the selection of secure presets as well as a GUI for setting underlying Apache httpd configurations. Specification Compliance Manager (SCM) uses NI Web Server for hosting the web UI and authenticating. You have to set up NI Web Server initially to make SCM accessible.

2.1 How to Set Up NI Web Server

Refer to the SystemLink Operations Handbook to learn how to set up the host domain address, authentication and remote accessibility.

Refer to the NI Web Server Manual for information about different types of authentication.

2.2 Restarting SCM

If the host domain address, port, or HTTPS settings are changed in the NI Web Server, you have to restart SCM for the changes to take effect. Complete the following steps to restart the SCM.

  1. Search for NI SystemLink Server Configuration in the start menu and open it with administrator access.
  2. Select NI SystemLink Service Manager from the left pane and click Restart.
