Two different Gemini web applications pointing to one database...

web-app

Would there be any issue with having two Gemini web applications (same version) pointing to the same database?  The first Gemini web app would be for interanl access.  The second Gemini web app would be on a different server for external access with a certificate in place to enable SSL.  As I mentioned earlier, both would point to the same database.

If you are usign 2.2.* the only issue should be email alerts links. They will point to one instance of Gemini only.

SaarCohen,

Thanks for the quick response.  We are currently running 2.2.6.

Using 2.2.7 there is one big problem and that's to do with the URL used.

Older versions used to store the URL in the web.config so you have a different one for each server but as it's now in the database there's only one option.

eg: intranet users user site.test.co.uk - single sign on and in they go

external users, using a separate web server but the same database and go to site.test.com, enter their own login which works but then another login box pops up from site.test.co.uk asking them to login again, they don't have a login box on that server.

Not a big deal as you can cancel the login but it's annoying as it pops up on every page. We've traced this to the URL set in admin, general that appears in the iFrame and tries to load http://geminiDBURL/utility/Refresher.aspx on every page load.

We're having to get around it with a hosts file on every PC spoofing the DB stored URL and pointing to the local server. Very messy.

Is there a better way of dealing with this?

Rip out the IFRAME line from controls/Header.ascx -- this will reduce the URL dependency.

People usually use the firewall to handle such URL scenarios.
