The SAS Web Parts for
Microsoft SharePoint consists of the following components:
-
This component is deployed
on the SharePoint server.
-
This service runs in
a separate IIS application from SharePoint, and can be installed on
the same machine where SharePoint resides or on a separate machine.
SAS Web Parts Service
for Microsoft SharePoint provides communication between the Web Parts
and your SAS servers. This Web service can be hosted on your SharePoint
server or another Microsoft Windows machine that is running Microsoft
Internet Information Server.
The SAS Web Parts Service
must be able to connect to your SAS servers via SAS Integration Technologies.
Therefore, a firewall cannot exist between the SAS Web Parts Service
and the SAS servers. Because the SAS Web Parts connect to the service
via SOAP over HTTPS, a firewall can exist between the SAS Web Parts
Service and SharePoint. In the most common and simple deployments,
this service runs on the SharePoint server.
