Postinstallation Tasks

After installing CampusNexus Student, ensure that the web application can be accessed and that an initial administrative user has sufficient permissions to view the web application.

Resolve Port Conflicts

By default Installation Manager installs CampusNexus Student on the IIS Server's Default Web Site under "Cmc.Nexus.Web". If other web sites are hosted on the same IIS Server, ensure that there are no conflicts in the ports used by different web sites. If necessary, change the port used by Cmc.Nexus.Web in the web.config under

<add key="WSFedRealm" value="http://<server name>:<port>/Cmc.Nexus.Web/"/>

Test the Administrator Login

Access the URL for the Cmc.Nexus.Web site in a browser and log in as administrator:

login screen

After you click the Sign In button, the following message is displayed: "Access denied. Only members of CampusNexus Web group are allowed access."

This message indicates that the administrator needs to be added to the CampusNexus Web Group in the legacy interface (desktop) for CampusNexus Student. The CampusNexus Web Group is created by scripts during the installation of CampusNexus Student.

Assign the Administrator to the CampusNexus Web Group

To give the administrative user permissions to log in to CampusNexus Student, the user needs to be added to the CampusNexus Web group.

  1. In the legacy interface for CampusNexus Student, navigate to Setup > Staff, select Administrator in the Staff Members list, and click Edit.

  2. In the Staff Information form, select the Groups tab, click move right to make the Administrator a Member of the CampusNexus Web group, and click Save.

  3. Access the URL for Cmc.Nexus.Web in a browser again and log in as administrator. Now, the browser displays the header of the CampusNexus Student and indicates that the System Administrator is logged in.

The administrative user now has login permission, but cannot perform any tasks in CampusNexus Student. We now need to give the user permissions to view, create, edit, or delete data. For more details, see the Administration Guide. Check the Documentation Center in MyCampusInsight for the latest revision of the Administration Guide (logon required).

Change the Web Client URL on Upgrade

alert If you change the Web Client URL during an upgrade in an environment where Forms Builder is used, the Web Client URL must be manually updated in the web.config files of Forms Builder Designer and Forms Builder Renderer (search for 'baseURL').
