Installation

Topology

A Devolutions Server instance is a web application, allowing its services to be accessible over the Internet or an Intranet.

The recommended topology involves using two servers: one for the database and one for the web application. For smaller installations, a single server may be used; however, resources will be shared between both roles, which may impact performance.

Key points to consider:

• Ensure that .NET 10.0 is installed on your machine before beginning the installation.

• It is strongly recommended to enable SSL encryption to secure communication with the SQL Server instance. Follow Microsoft's guide: Configure SQL Server Database Engine for encrypting connections. We advise completing this step after the initial setup.

• For full Active Directory integration, the application pool should use a domain identity, and both servers need to be joined to the domain.

Installation

• Installing web server prerequisites

After installing the prerequisites, test the IIS installation by navigating to http://localhost. If the IIS welcome screen does not appear, do not proceed. Any issues must be resolved before continuing.
