    DB24 Portal

    Overview

    The DB24 Portal is an essential part of the DB24 system, providing users with a web-based interface to interact with their SQL Server environments. It consists of:

    • IIS Site - db24-portal: The main interface where users interact with their SQL environment
    • Windows Service - DB24.Api: The backend service providing data and functionalities

    The portal is set up automatically during Datastore installation.

    ✅ Required IIS Modules

    • .NET Runtime 8: Required by DB24 Installation Wizard
    • URL Rewrite 2: For proxying API requests
    • Application Request Router 3.0 (ARR): Enables internal traffic handling

    These modules are automatically installed by the DB24 Installation Wizard.

    Default Configuration

    • Portal Site: http://{COMPUTER_NAME}
    • DB24.Api: http://localhost:52424

    We recommend securing with SSL using a valid certificate and custom domain.

    Initializing First Administrator

    The installer prompts for a portal login email. Initial password is "password" (one-time), with immediate password change required.
