How To: Create a New Payment Line

1. Before Khaos Control web services can be installed on your Khaos Control application server, several prerequisites must be completed to ensure the environment is secure, accessible and ready for deployment.

   Prerequisites

   Install Microsoft IIS

   Install the current supported version of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) on the server that hosts Khaos Control.

   IIS provides the web server platform required to host and run Khaos Control web services.

   Apply Microsoft Updates

   Ensure all available Microsoft updates have been downloaded and installed before the web service installation takes place.

   Keeping the server fully updated helps improve security, stability and compatibility.

   Install an SSL Certificate

   Installing an SSL certificate is recommended for all web service installations.

   Benefits include:

   • Encrypted communication between systems.
   • Improved security for data transfers.
   • Support for secure HTTPS connections.

   Note: A self-signed SSL certificate can be used if required.

   Although SSL is strongly recommended, it is not currently a technical requirement for Khaos Control web services.

   Note: Port 80 and port 443 are industry-standard recommendations and should not be considered mandatory. Alternative ports may be used if required by your network configuration.

   Allow External Access

   Your firewall or network router must be configured to allow inbound connections through the chosen port so that the web service can be installed, tested and maintained.

   Please contact Khaos Control Support for the IP addresses that require access.

   Server Access Requirements

   To complete the installation and provide ongoing support, Khaos Control will require access to the application server.

   Please provide:

   • A username with sufficient permissions to access the server.
   • The associated password.
   • Appropriate access rights to install and maintain the web service.

   This access will be used for:

   • Initial web service installation.
   • Configuration and testing.
   • Ongoing maintenance and support activities.

   ---

   Recommended Configuration

   For the most secure deployment, we recommend:

   • Installing the latest supported version of Microsoft IIS.
   • Applying all Microsoft updates.
   • Using an SSL certificate.
   • Configuring HTTPS communication on port 443.
   • Providing secure server access credentials for support and maintenance.

   Completing these requirements before installation will help ensure the Khaos Control web service can be deployed quickly and operate reliably.
