Figure 13-25 Creating shortcuts to access LearningSpace additional database

The target of the shortcut can be, for example:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

"http://inspiron.esh.local/LearningSpace5/default.asp?ui=student&regDatabaseKey

=Extranet"

Then you can deploy these icons to users by using OS profiling or other tools.

Create redirection on the Core server

Creating a redirection on IIS is much like creating a virtual directory. The

difference is that after creating the virtual directory, you have to alter the type of

the virtual directory, as shown in Figure 13-26.

Figure 13-26 Defining redirection URL in IIS

The Redirect to field can be filled with a URL, like this:

http://inspiron.esh.local/LearningSpace5/default.asp?ui=student&regDatabaseKey=

Extranet

This redirects the http://inspiron.esh.local/LearningSpace5/Extranet

incoming URLs to the correct URL. The users do not have to know and type the

exact URL parameters.

13.3.6 Restarting the Internet Information Services

As a final step in setting up an additional database, you should restart the IIS

server. You can achieve this by restarting the IIS Admin service from the

Services console of the Administrative Tools in the Control Panel (see

Figure 13-27 on page 179).
