++In order to install the Helpdesk Web Interface, some preparations must be made. This includes fulfilling all installation requirements and ensuring compatibility with your system. Below, you will be guided through the process step by step.
++
  = Installation requirements =
--* The Internet Information Service (IIS) must be installed or be in the process of being installed.
--* The.NET Framework 4.7.1 is already installed or will be installed with the IIS.
++Ensure that the following components are installed on your system. If this is not yet the case, please install them.
++
++* Internet Information Service (IIS) must be installed
++* .NET Framework 4.6.2 is already installed or will be installed when you install Internet Information Service
  * Port 80 or the port set in the IIS settings must be accessible.
--To be able to use the Helpdesk to its full extent, first install the IIS and the.NET Framework. After that, configurations must be made in the ACMP Console.

++= Updating the Web Interfaces =
--If the web interface is installed on the same machine as the ACMP Server, it is already entered with the address 127.0.0.1. If this is not the case, then add the IP address of the server via //Add//.
++After installing an ACMP update, it may be necessary to update the Web Interface for the helpdesk. When patching to a new ACMP version, all solutions that you have installed are usually updated and upgraded. One exception is the web interface, as it is a standalone application. Therefore, if an ACMP update affects the web interface, it must also be updated. You can find out whether an update is required and necessary in the respective [[Release Notes>>https://www.aagon.com/produkte/ueberblick/release-notes-acmp/]] and also in the installation instructions during the console update. The wizard will provide you with info on whether the Web Interface is also listed as an affected component.
--== Activate Web Interfaces ==
++[[Excerpt from the installation instructions (Web Interface update required)>>image:69_Web Interface Update_956.png]]
--To use the web interface, it must first be activated via the ACMP Console. In the ACMP Console, go to //System > Settings > Web Interface > General settings//. Then enable the option //Helpdesk Web Interface is active.//
++If an update is necessary, open //WebSetups.msi// (C:\Program Files (x86)\Aagon\ACMP Server\Clients\WebInterfaceSetup) and follow the steps to update the version to match that of the ACMP Console. The update is now complete.

++== Procedure for reinstalling the Web Interface ==
--{{figureCaption}}
--Enabling the Helpdesk Web Interface
--{{/figureCaption}}
--{{/figure}}
++~1. Open Windows Explorer //C:\Program Files (x86)\Aagon\ACMP Server\Clients\WebInterfaceSetup// , where the file //WebSetups.msi// is located. Execute this file to install the Web Interfaces on the IIS.
--== Accessing Web Interface ==
++2. Run through the installation wizard. To install the web interfaces in the directory you have selected, select //Install //or specify a different installation path. The installation will begin.
--To access the web interfaces, you have the following three options:
++3. After the update, check that the correct port and IP address have been entered in the configuration files by the ACMP Server.
--=== Self Service ===
--The Self Service web interface allows employees to submit tickets that can be processed by Helpdesk staff. To access the Self Service web interface, a user account must be created in the ACMP Console.
++[[Web Interface Installation Wizard>>image:69_ACMP Web Interface Installer_495.png]]
--The call is made via the following link: http:~/~/[Server IP]/Self-Service/
++{{aagon.infobox}}
++By default, the server port is not transferred during installation or when updating the web interface if it was changed during the ACMP server installation. Therefore, the values must be checked in this step and customized if necessary!
++{{/aagon.infobox}}
--=== Self Service SSO ===
++{{aagon.infobox}}
++If you are unsure about the Server name and Server port, you can find the [[value in settings.ini>>doc:ACMP.69.Arbeiten mit der ACMP Console.Globale Elemente und Funktionen.Aufbau und Konfiguration der settings\.ini.WebHome]] in the ACMP network share in the ACMP Server > Clients folder. Otherwise, you can proceed directly to the next step.
++{{/aagon.infobox}}
--You can activate a single sign-on for the Self Service web interface. To do this, the user must be logged on to an Active Directory. In addition, the AD authentication must be activated in the ACMP Console.
++[[Values in settings.ini>>image:69_Web Interface settings.ini_468.png]]
--The call is made via the following link: http:~/~/[Server IP]/Self-Service/SSO
++Then open the configuration file for the web interface (web.config) and the SSO (web.config). By default, these can be accessed via the following paths:
--=== Helpdesk ===
++|Web.config (Helpdesk Web Interface)|//C:\Program Files (x86)\Aagon\ACMP Web Interfaces\Helpdesk Webinterface//
++|web.config (SSO)|//C:\Program Files (x86)\Aagon\ACMP Web Interfaces\SSO//
--As a Helpdesk employee, you can access the tickets assigned to you via the Helpdesk Web Interface and edit them as you would in the ACMP Console.
++Check the following rows in both files and ensure that the values for the server IP and server port are correct:
--The ACMP Helpdesk Web Interface can be accessed via the following link: http:~/~/[Server-IP]/Helpdesk/
++{{code}}
++<add key="ServerIP" value="127.0.0.1" />
++<add key="ServerPort" value="2106" />
--= Updating the Web Interfaces =
++{{/code}}
--After installing an ACMP Updates, it may be necessary to update the Helpdesk Web Interface. Normally, when ACMP is patched to a new version, all the solutions you have installed are patched. One exception is the Web Interface, because it is a standalone application. Therefore, if an ACMP update affects the Web Interface, it must also be updated. If the Web Interface is affected by an Update, you will be informed via the Release Notes.
++== Special cases in Web.config (helpdesk web interface configuration file) ==
--If you need to reinstall the Web Interface, please follow these steps:
++Some settings can be configured via the ‘Web.config’ (see above). Changes can be made primarily under <appSettings>. This includes, for example, the following setting:
--~1. Navigate to //%programfiles%\Aagon\ACMP Server\Clients //in the //WebInterfaceSetup// folder. Execute the //WebSetups.msi //file to install the web interfaces on the IIS.
--2. Go through the installation wizard. To install the web interfaces in the directory you have selected, select //Install//. The installation of the update will now begin.
--3. After the update, check whether the correct port and the correct IP address of the ACMP Server are entered in the configuration files:
++{{code}}
++<add key="HttpsHyperlinkCustomFieldsPrefix" value="true"/> - Default: True
++{{/code}}
--{{aagon.infobox}}
--Usually when installing or updating the web interface, the server port is not taken over if it was changed during the installation of the ACMP Server. Therefore you have to check the values in this step and change them if necessary!
--{{/aagon.infobox}}
++[[Inserted row>>image:69_Web Interface_Config Datei.png||alt="69_Web Interface_Sonderfall Config Datei_758.png"]]
--{{aagon.infobox}}
--If you are not sure about the server name and the server port, you can look up the values in the Settings.ini file on the ACMP network share in the //ACMP Server > Clients// directory. Otherwise you can skip tot he next step.
--{{/aagon.infobox}}
++__Tip__: If this row is not displayed, you can insert it under <appSettings>.

--[[image:settings.ini.png||data-xwiki-image-style-alignment="center"]]
++If the option is set to ‘True’, the hyperlink addresses of the CustomFields of the type //Hyperlink// that do not have an HTTP or HTTPS prefix are automatically assigned HTTPS in the Web Interface so that they can be accessed:

--{{/figure}}
++{{/code}}
--The Update is then complete.
++In addition, you can specify in Web.config whether the first element of the information and login page should always be opened when loading or not. With ACMP version 6.9.2, you have the option of configuring this area and specifying whether the element is expanded (default) or not.
++
++{{code}}
++<add key="InfoListOpenFirstItem" value="true"/>
++<add key="InfoListLoginOpenFirstItem" value="true"/>
++
++ </appSettings>
++
++{{/code}}
++
++ The setting ‘InfoListOpenFirstItem’ specifies the default for the information page, while the row ‘InfoListLoginOpenFirstItem’ overrides this for the login page, where the user first logs in. The following possible values apply to both: The value ‘True’ means that the top (first) element is expanded, and ‘False’ means that it is collapsed (on both the information and login pages).
