Surround SCM Web is a web-based application for viewing and downloading Surround SCM source files. To use Surround SCM Web, the administrator must install and configure the Surround SCM Web Server during a server or custom installation. See Setting Surround SCM Web Server configuration options.
The Surround SCM Web Server is a standalone server that requires minimal setup. After installation, perform the following tasks to provide access to Surround SCM Web.
1. Make sure the Surround SCM Web Server is running. See Starting the Surround SCM Web Server.
2. If the Surround SCM Web Server is installed behind a firewall, update the firewall configuration to open the HTTP and HTTPS ports specified during installation. See the firewall documentation for information about opening ports.
3. Enable the Login Via Web Client security command (in the General category) for the appropriate security groups in Surround SCM. See the Surround SCM help for information about managing security groups.
4. If the Surround SCM Server is configured to use RSA key exchange or you need to specify SSL certificates to use with HTTPS sessions, configure the web server startup options in the Surround SCM Registry Utility. See the registry utility help for information about modifying the web server startup options.
5. Provide users with login credentials and the Surround SCM Web URL, which consists of the web server address, the port number, and the path to the login page. For example, http://yourserver.com:8090/sscmweb or https://yourserver.com:8443/sscmweb.
See the Surround SCM Web help for information about using Surround SCM Web.
Tip: If you use Apache or Microsoft IIS to host other Helix ALM web applications and want to use consistent URLs (e.g., http://yourserver.com/ttweb and http://yourserver.com/scmweb), you can redirect Surround SCM data from the existing web server to the Surround SCM Web Server. See Redirecting Surround SCM Web Data from Apache and IIS Web Servers.
