Kentico and a separate application on Azure

Hi,

We are embarking on a new project which will have two applications, Kentico CMS for the front-end, authentication etc. and a separate application which is used for back-end administration (but will utilise Kentico authentication).

Can someone please tell me if when deploying to Azure, would the separate application be able to run on the same instance as the Kentico application? Or would it need to run on a separate one?

We are working along the lines of having the separate application in a subfolder of the CMS, which is set-up as a virtual directory as per these instructions.

Thanks,

Matt

RE:Kentico and a separate application on Azure

I have frequently deployed Kentico along with other apps. Usually do the second app as a Virtual Application. Then in the Web.config, above the <system.web> we place

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

Your Web.config will have to merge. We have also had to move a few DLLs sometimes from the BIN of the Second App, but to the /bin.

Security for the 2 apps. Good question. Without knowing what you are combining with, it is hard to say. We have done BRIDGE pages that SSO between 2 app before. We combined an Old ASP app with Kentico and had to create a SSO layer.

Or would we only have to publish and deploy the application that has has changes made to it? Thanks, Matt

If the applications are basically separate deployments, you will need to re-deploy just the modified one. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus
