Introduction to Doors.WEB™

This reference guide introduces you to Keri Systems new Doors.WEB™ web client. It
explains the main features, functions and operation of the web client, plus pre-requisites
for installation and the installation procedure itself. It can be very conveniently used on
any device that has a web browser (PC, tablet or smart phone) and it can operate over
the internet or via a Local Area Network.

Installation takes just a few minutes and you will find it very easy to setup and use. It
provides you with the most commonly-used access control functions, such as adding, edit-
ing and removing cardholders (and credentials), or locking and unlocking any or all doors
in your system and monitoring system events as they occur in real-time.

Obtaining the Installation File

Doors.WEB™ installation is performed on the Doors.NET Application Server PC using
an installation file that is either downloaded from the www.kerisys.com website, or it can
be found on the Doors.NET installation DVD. Installation is a very quick and easy pro-
cess and should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

Host PC Requirements
There are certain settings and hardware requirements that must be in place prior to
installing Doors.WEB™.

Dependencies

• Microsoft .NET 4.5 Framework
• Microsoft Internet Information Services 8 (IIS8)

Recommendations
• Windows 10 or Server 2012
• Doors.Net App Server and IIS8 serving the Doors.WEB™ client pages should be on the
same machine.

Computer/Server Requirements (for the Doors.NET host PC)

l Microprocessor - Intel Core2 Duo, 2.4 GHz or greater, 8 MB cache or greater.

l Memory - 4 GB or greater.

l Operating System Compatibility:

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is important to note that when you log into Doors.WEB™ you are automatically granted
full administrative privileges. You will be able to add, edit and delete cardholders and you
will be able to lock and unlock all doors on the system.

In standard Doors.NET you can setup system operators who can be prevented from car-
rying out certain administrative tasks. For example, they may be prevented from access-
ing cardholders, or hardware. Currently, this is not possible with Doors.WEB.

It is therefore important that you change the default administrator password to prevent any
unauthorized access to your system.
Click here for a guide to changing the administrator's account details.

Installation Procedure
1. Copy across, or download the Doors.WEB™ installation file onto the Doors.NET
host PC.

IIS tools, features, services and settings.
7. Installation should take no longer than a few minutes.
8. Once installation is complete you should see that Doors.WEB™ has been installed

to access the web client via a browser (using the host workstation's IP address and
port 8080).
13. The Doors.WEB™ client is a licensed feature and therefore is not included with the
standard Doors.NET bundle. See the link below for licensing information:

Create Application Pool

The following only needs to be done if the host PC/Server is running another web applic-
ation and using the DefaultAppPool - It is an unlikely scenario but the scenario may
arise.

1. Open Internet Information Services/IIS (on a Windows 10 PC type IIS into Cortana)
2. Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window will open.
3. Right-click on Application Pool >> select Add Application Pool > set the name to
DoorsWebClient > press OK.

Using Secure Sockets Layers

It is very likely that you would want to protect their Doors.WEB™ client connections in the
same way that is used when connecting to a bank's website (for online banking). This sec-
tion of the help will guide you through the process of enabling Self-Signed Certificates
and then using the certificate to create a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection to the
Doors.WEB™ Server).

The process is the same as certificates issued by a Certification Authority, except you do
not have to apply for the certificate and it does not have to be bound to a registered
domain, such as myowndomain.com or kerisys.com

-9- 02311-001
Doors.WEB User Manual

Important Information about Certified and Self-Signed Certificates

An SSL connection with a self-signed certificate creates an encrypted connection
between the server and web browser to assure the information flowing in between can’t
be intercepted or interpreted by a 3rd party. A self-signed certificate does not guarantee
the server is who they claim to be.

The highest level of security is achieved with a certificate provided from a 3rd party CA
(Certification Authority) such as Digicert and GlobalSign. Certificates must be registered
to a domain and require the domain owner to submit an application to the CA; however,
this process is not covered in this document.

Requirements

l An existing installation of IIS with Doors.WEB™ (DoorsWebClient) added as a site.

l IIS8 (Internet Information Services).
l Windows 10 operating system.

Setup SSL With Certificate

1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) (Right-click Windows Start Menu >> Con-
trol Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

- 10 - 02311-001
Doors.WEB User Manual

2. From the Connections list on the left, select the top connections > run the Server
Certificates mode under IIS middle > Under Actions, choose Create Self-Signed
Certificate.

3. Name the certificate as DoorsWebCert > select Web Hosting as the certificate
store > press OK.

- 11 - 02311-001
Doors.WEB User Manual

4. Apply the certificate to the site by selecting DoorsWebClient under Sites > right
click and select Edit Bindings
5. From the list, choose https on port 443 > press Edit.
6. From the SSL certificate dropdown, choose DoorsWebCert > press OK.

- 12 - 02311-001
Doors.WEB User Manual
7. Now every time a connection is made to the server, it can be made using a https
connection, such as https://localhost (note there is no :8080 at the end).

Accept Self-Signed Certificates on FireFox

The first time the browser connects to the server, the user will need to authorize the self-
signed certificate, this is not required for a CA issued certificate. On FireFox the following
message is shown:

Accept the self-signed certificate by pressing Advanced >> Add Exception >> Confirm
Security Exception.

- 13 - 02311-001

Situation Manager
Situation Manager is an advanced Doors.NET feature that implements Global Lock and
Global Unlock commands. The icon for Situation Manager is only displayed if Situation
Manager is enabled through Doors.Net. Situation Manager can’t be enabled via the Door-
s.WEB™ client. The Situation Manager feature allows you to immediately lock or unlock
a designated groups of doors, over multiple controllers.

NOTE: There are certain rules and limitations associated with Situation Manager when
using the PXL controllers. These are covered in a separate document which can be
accessed at the bottom of this page.

Situation Manager provides three level of global control:

Situation Normal

Locks all readers on the system – if they are online.

The following list describes how the Situation Manager implements Global Lock/Unlock:

l When enabled, Doors.WEB™ displays a Situation Manager sub-group of icons in

the program ribbon bar. These icons display current state and allow an operator to
activate Global Lock, Global Unlock, or return to normal operating state.

l When a Global Lock command is initiated, designated doors immediately return to

their normal, valid credential required state. All Auto-Unlock/ Lock Timezones are
overridden, but all valid credentials will be granted access.

l When a Global Unlock command is initiated, designated doors are immediately

unlocked.

l Global Unlock and Global Lock commands can operate over multiple controllers
and over multiple gateways, even if they are different gateway types (for example, a
site with NXT and PXL doors).
