Configure the MUSE System for Network Communication
Action Description
Determining the
communication protocol
MUSEAPI3 uses
You can configure MUSEAPI3 to communicate with MUSEAPI3
clients using http, https, or net.tcp protocols. It is possible to
configure MUSEAPI3 for more than one protocol.
• HTTP – a non-secure web communication protocol.
• HTTPS – a secure web communication protocol that uses an
additional encryption layer. Use of HTTPS requires that the
customer configure a secure communication channel, such
as SSL, and establish any public key certificates. When using
HTTPS, you must obtain a thumbprint of the certificate and use
it to configure the port MUSEAPI3 uses. The thumbprint is the
certificate hash of the public key. See Obtain the Thumbprint
of the SSL Certificate for the MUSEAPI3 Port on page 326 for
more information.
• Net.tcp – Unless HTTPS is used, this is the preferred
communication protocol for MUSEAPI3. Net.tcp uses domain
security and requires that the MUSEAPI Client and MUSE
Server(s) be on the same domain.
Determining the port
assignment for MUSEAPI3
MUSEAPI3 uses the default ports below. If these ports are already in
use, you may enter different ports during installation.
• HTTP — port 8100
• HTTPS — no default assigned (port 443 is typically used for
secure websites using SSL)
• net.tcp — port 8101
Locating the MUSE
application folder on the
MUSE server
You must install MUSEAPI3 files in the MUSE application folder. The
list below is the default folder locations:
• 32-bit Windows Server Operating Systems: C:\Program Files
\MUSE.
• 64-bit Windows Server Operating Systems: C:\Program Files
(x86)\MUSE.
Install MUSEAPI3 on MUSE v8 Server
1. Log into the MUSE application server using an account that has administrator
privileges.
2. Have the customer disable any antivirus software during the installation. Re-
enable the antivirus software after the installation is complete.
3. Insert the MUSE API 3.0 installation media into the optical drive of the system.
If an Autorun or AutoPlay screen displays, close or cancel them.
4. Browse the optical drive in Windows Explorer and execute the Autorun.exe
application.
NOTE:
Be sure to execute Autorun.exe and not Autorun.exe.config.
