Installing of Enterprise Portal and Role Centers

To install Enterprise Portal and role centers, use the Microsoft Dynamics AX
2012 Setup on a server that includes either Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
2010 or Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. If you are installing other Microsoft
Dynamics AX components at the same time, the installation pages vary, based on
the components that you are installing.

1. Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install, select Microsoft Dynamics AX components.

2. Advance through the first wizard pages.

3. If the Setup Support files have not yet been installed on the computer, the Select a file location page is displayed. The Setup Support files are required for installation. Enter a file location or
accept the default location, and then click Next. On the Ready to install page, click Install.

4. On the Select installation type page, click Custom installation and then click Next.

5. On the Select components page, select Enterprise Portal (EP) and then click Next.

6. On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors.When no errors remain, click Next.

7. On the Select a file location page, select the location where you want to install 32-bit versions of Microsoft Dynamics AX files and then click Next.

8. On the Specify a location for configuration settings page, specify whether you want Enterprise Portal to access configuration information from the registry on the local computer or from a shared
configuration file. If you select to use a shared configuration file, you must enter the network location of the file. Click Next.

9. On the Connect to an AOS instance page, enter the name of the computer that is running the Application Object Server (AOS) instance that you want to connect to. Optionally, you can specify the name of the AOS instance, the TCP/IP port number, and the WSDL port for services. Click Next.

NOTE: If you entered AOS connection information for other Microsoft Dynamics AX components that are installed on the computer that you are using, the Connect to an AOS instance screen is not displayed. Subsequent installations on the computer that you are using will reuse the existing AOS connection. All Microsoft Dynamics AX components installed on a computer must connect to the
same AOS instance.

10. On the Specify Business Connector proxy account information page, enter the password for the proxy account that is used by the .NET Business Connector. Click Next.

11. On the Configure a Website for Enterprise Portal page, select a website. If no websites are available in the list, you must cancel Setup, create a website by using SharePoint Central Administration, and then try the installation again. We recommend that you select the Configure for Windows SharePoint Services option. If you select this option, Setup verifies that the site is a SharePoint site. If not, Setup extends the site in SharePoint. Setup also sets the application pool to run under the service account and sets the authentication method to Windows NTLM.

NOTE: Note the following about the Create Website option: Clear this option if
you are installing Enterprise Portal for a public site, such as an unsolicited
vendor portal. For public sites, you must create the Enterprise Portal site by
using the public site template. If you are installing Enterprise Portal for a standalone installation, or on an administration server for a web farm, select theCreate Website option to create a site at the following URL:
http://ServerName/sites/DynamicsAX. Setup creates a new site that uses port 80.
When you install Enterprise Portal on subsequent servers in a server farm, you
must clear this option. The site must be created only on the administration server
for the web farm.

12. Click Next.

NOTE: If your business or organization purchased a developer license for Microsoft Dynamics AX, you can change the website's URL, title, and description before completing the installation. Modify the EPSetupParams file in the Application Object Tree (AOT) (Web > Web Files > Static Files >
EPSetupParams).

13. On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors. When no errors remain, click Next.

14. On the Ready to install page, click Install.

15. After the installation is complete, click Finish to close the wizard.
