Setup Admin Tools App-Server without Application Request Routing (ARR)

1. Install Admin Tools app-server on a proxy server or the same server (usual).

2. In app-server directory, set up the Admin Tools service as HTTPS, running the command:

   index pfx <insert passphrase here>

   Then, add the pfx file to the following Admin Tools directory: app-server/config/nodeconfig.json

3. Open up the firewall port for the Admin Tools server (default port: 9181).

4. On the original Admin Tools server, add the proxy server's URL:port to a customAPIEndpoint property in your clientConfig.json. It is recommended to use a valid hostname for the URL; do not use localhost for this entry.
   Ex: “customAPIEndpoint”: “https://my.host.name:9181”

   In public/clientconfig.json, located on line 17...
   
   {
     "portals": [
       {
         "url": "https://your.oauth.org.domain/webadaptor",
         "appId": "YourAppIDHere",
         "authentication": "OAuth2"
       },
       {
         "url": "https://your.IWA.org.domain/webadaptor",
         "appId": "",
         "authentication": "IWA"
       }
     ],
     "debugMode": false,
     "customAPIEndpoint": "<INSERT YOUR URL:PORTNUMBER>"
   }

5. Delete web.config from Admin Tools directory.
