Configure the Vault Server to Use a Fully Qualified Domain Name

Configure the Vault Server to allow remote connections over the internet using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN):

1. Create a DNS "A" or host record for your current FQDN with your ISP.
2. Install Autodesk Vault Server on your server and verify that it works properly.
3. On your server, open the Internet Information Services Manager and expand the Websites folder.
4. Right-click the website that contains the AutodeskDM virtual directory. Click Properties.
5. In the Properties dialog box, Website tab, click Advanced.
6. In the Advanced Website Identification dialog box, under the Multiple identities for the website, click Add.
7. In the Add/Edit Web Site Identification dialog box, select the correct IP address to interact with the website.
8. Enter the TCP port you want to use. If this is not port 80, then your clients will have to add ":<port#>" at the end of the FQDN in order for the connection to work.
9. In the Host Header value, enter the FQDN.
10. Click OK to close each dialog box.

Note: Additional settings may be required for your router or firewall. Check with your IT department for the necessary changes.
