Installation of IIS Extensions (IIS ARR, URL Rewrite)
In order to be able to set up a forwarding of certain requests or to be able to use them, you must have installedExtensions for the IIS. Both extensions are officially supported extensions which can be downloaded from the IIS Site.
For the creation of forwarding rules or the redirection of forwardings the following two extensions must be downloaded and installed:
•Application Request Routing (ARR) - Enables load balancing, request forwarding, distributed memory caching, etc.
•URL Rewrite - Creation of rules to modify the behavior of HTTP headers, HTTP responses, etc.
Step 1: Download the required components
Please use the links above to the two extensions. It is recommended to use the download directly below the description, because here only the required version can be specified accordingly and will be installed (*.msi file). But it is also possible to install the download manager (larger installation), this offers the possibility to install several extensions directly in the IIS directly (*.exe file).
Step 2: Installing the two extensions on IIS
The installation is completed by running the two msi and exe files. No settings need to be made in the installation dialog. The extensions are installed for the particular IIS version in use.
