futuredesignEntities ConnectionString - Found in the <connectionStrings> element, this string provides
connection information to the MySQL database. Its format is similar to:
< connectionStrings >
< add name = " futuredesignEntities "
connectionString = " metadata=res://*/Models.MySQLModel.csdl|res://*/Models.MySQLModel.ssdl|res://*/Model
s.MySQLModel.msl;provider=MySql.Data.MySqlClient;provider connection
string=
&quot; server=127.0.0.1;database=futuredesign;user
id=root;password=password;oldguids=True &quot; " providerName = " System.Data.EntityClient " />
</ connectionStrings >
In the IIS Manager, add a website. Set the website’s physical path to the folder you created. An App Pool will
be created with the site. Verify the App Pool uses .Net framework version 4.0.
A.2.6 Data Transfer Service Installation
Create a folder for the data transfer service files. It can be anywhere, but often C:\inetpub\wwwroot is used. Do
not use the same folder as the website. Set permissions on the folder to allow IIS_IUSRS Read and execute,
List folder contents, and Read permissions. Copy the data transfer service files into this folder. Edit the
permissions of the files and log folders to allow IUSR and IIS_IUSRS to modify.
In web.config, set values for the following keys: futuredesignEntities ConnectionString. Descriptions of these
values are below.

futuredesignEntities ConnectionString - Found in the <connectionStrings> element, this string provides
connection information to the MySQL database. Its format is similar to:
< connectionStrings >
<add name="FDMySqlConnection"
connectionString="Datasource=127.0.0.1;Database=futuredesign;uid=root;pwd=pwd;Old Guids=true;"
providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
</ connectionStrings >
For the service installation within IIS Manager, you have two choices. You can create a new website, or you
can create and application within the website you already created. If you create a new website, you’ll need to
go into the bindings and set a port that is different than the website’s (most likely port 80 or 443).
If you create an application, just note the folder name for the application. That will be necessary for the device
setup.
In either case, an App Pool will be created with the site. Verify the App Pool uses .Net framework version 4.0.
A.2.7 HTTP vs HTTPS
FDC Cloud Service can support either http (non-secure) or https (secure) protocols. To support https, an SSL
certificate will need to be purchased. There are many certificate providers. FDC has used Network Solutions.
Once the certificate is purchased, it must be installed into IIS, and the website and service bindings adjusted to
use it.
A.2.8 FTP Server
Please consult the instructions for your choice of FTP server.
