Disabling Windows Authentication for Services

You must disable Windows authentication for some services in all VAM instances.

You must disable the Windows authentication mode for the following virtual directories in IIS in all VAM instances:

• VoceraAlarmAdmin
• MVisumPushServer
• MVisumAlertService
• VoceraAlarmTestApp

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the IIS Manager.
2. Expand the tree next to your server name, then expand the Sites and Default Web Site subtrees. This displays a list of your IIS applications.
3. Under Default Web Site, click VoceraAlarmAdmin.
4. Click the Features View tab.
5. In the IIS section, select Authentication.
6. Disable Windows Authentication mode if it is defined.
7. Repeat these steps for the MVisumPushServer, MVisumAlertService, and VoceraAlarmTestApp services.

You must restart the following Windows services in all instances of VAM after you have made these changes:

• Vocera Alarm Message Generator
• Vocera Alarm Escalator
