WebsiteDNSName

For production licenses of AlphaTrust® e-Sign, the domain name allowed is preset in the license file supplied by AlphaTrust. This license information will update and overwrite the information listed here. For non-production license types, you will set the values below manually to permit flexibility in development and testing environments. Set the 'WebsiteDNSName' to the public DNS name of the Website hosting the AlphaTrust® e-Sign virtual directories. Do NOT prefix with http:// or https://.

For example:
WebsiteDNSName=pronto.yourdomain.com

A Change made here will take about 5 minutes to take effect unless you 'Stop' and then 'Start' the AlphaTrust® e-Sign Service. Do not use "Restart" on this service.

UseSSL

You should use SSL for all production deployments of AlphaTrust® e-Sign. You will need to install an SSL certificate issued for the DNS name listed in WebsiteDNSName above. You should then configure IIS to use SSL for that Website and set the 'UseSSL' value to: UseSSL=1

For non-production (i.e. development use), you may set it to 0, which will then cause AlphaTrust® e-Sign to use http rather than https in its generated URLs. A Change made here will take about 5 minutes to take effect unless you 'Stop' and then 'Start' the AlphaTrust® e-Sign Service. Do not use "Restart" on this service.

BaseInternalURL

We recommend you leave this value set to '127.0.0.1' so that the software can make HTTP requests to itself locally on this loopback address. The IIS Website used by AlphaTrust® e-Sign will need to be set to allow "All Unassigned" addresses. Alternatively you may use the local IP or local DNS (not public, local network) name in these two entries.

BaseInternalURL is the "private" base URL or IP address of the server with no sub-directories and including the trailing '/' backslash. This is the "inside the firewall", or non-NATed address on the local network.

HTMLDocumentDomain

The HTMLDocumentDomain value is optional, but useful when dealing with cross-domain scripting problems such as when you display the AlphaTrust® e-Sign pages via an IFRAME. Use the common root domain that all other pages in the Web application use. All calling pages must also implement the document.domain= script. For example, if the common domain is example.com then this setting would be HTMLDocumentDomain="example.com" and you must add the Javascript document.domain="example.com"; to all the pages in the Web application that host or interact with any pages served by AlphaTrust® e-Sign.
