Configure Web Services

The Smart Grid Integration Framework uses several web services to process AMI events. These services also provide access to the Configuration Manager which provides a single user interface to configure the windows services.

Service Name	Description
Miner.Configuration.ConfigurationService	Used by the Configuration Manager.
Miner.Configuration.Web	Used by the Configuration Manager.
Miner.Smartgrid.EventService	Receives CIM-formatted messages from AMI and passes them to the Event Processor windows service.
Miner.Smartgrid.StateService	Takes the filtered messages from the Event Processor and places them in the state data store designated by the user.

The machine that runs the StateService needs to have ODAC installed if you are running Oracle. This should be the same version as the version of Oracle Client installed on the Responder Server machine.

Miner.Configuration.Web

Perform these next steps on Miner.Configuration.Web ONLY. This setting will require a user name/password when accessing the Configuration Manager. If you do not perform these steps, anyone can access Configuration Manager without a user name/password.

In Computer Management, expand Services and Applications, and select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
In the Connections column, expand the node named after the local machine.
Expand Sites > Default Web Site and select Miner.Configuration.Web.
In the next column, double-click Authentication in the IIS section.
By default Anonymous Authentication is enabled. Right-click the status and select Disable.
Now you MUST enable another form of authentication. For example, right-click Basic Authentication and select Enable. This will prompt the user for his network user name/password when he attempts to access the Configuration Manager.
Close Computer Management.
