Step 2: Configure the BizTalk Hosts as Trusted
Step 2 of 6

Time to complete: 10 minutes

Objective: In this step, you change the authenticated trusted property for the following hosts:

  • BizTalkServerApplication

  • BizTalkServerIsolatedHost

Purpose: Before you begin the BizTalk Server 2006 tutorials, both of the default hosts must be trusted for authentication. In the tutorials, you use a single-computer installation of BizTalk Server 2006 to create and deploy BizTalk solutions that contain orchestrations and other BizTalk objects. Because you use the same computer to deploy and host BizTalk solutions, the environment must be trusted. When you install BizTalk Server, by default, the default hosts are not trusted.

When you installed and configured BizTalk Server, a host instance for each default host was placed on the computer. A BizTalk Host is a logical set of BizTalk runtime processes. You deploy BizTalk objects such as pipelines and orchestrations into a BizTalk Host. You install an instance of a host onto servers that you use to process, receive, and transmit messages.

During a single-computer installation of BizTalk Server 2006, it is typical to use the same user account to configure the default hosts. Because you cannot change the authenticated trusted property for both hosts simultaneously and a user account cannot have mixed privileges (trusted and not trusted), you must delete one of the default host instances or change the account for one of the default host instances before you can change the authenticated trusted property for either of the default hosts.

The following process is provided for learning purposes only, and does not in any way represent best security practices (not even mediocre security practices). We designed the tutorials to run on a fresh, single-computer, developer installation. If you are using an existing installation, and have services running in the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host instance, instead of deleting this host instance, change the account the host instance runs as. If the default host instances use different accounts, you can change the authenticated trusted property for them.

Prerequisites

You must install and configure BizTalk Server 2006 before you begin this step. For information about installing BizTalk Server 2006, see Step 1: Install BizTalk Server 2006 for the Tutorials.
Procedures
To check whether the hosts are trusted

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, in the console tree, expand BizTalk Server 2006 Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, and then click Hosts.

  3. In the Hosts results pane, for the BizTalkServerApplication host and the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host, if the value in the Trusted column is Yes, the hosts are trusted.

    If the hosts are not trusted, you must either use a different account for one of the host instances, or delete one of the host instances, before you can change the authentication trusted property. In the following procedure, you delete the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host instance.

To delete the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host instance

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, in the console tree, expand BizTalk Server 2006 Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, and then click Host Instances.

  2. In the Host Instances results pane, right-click the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host instance, and then click Delete.

  3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

    After you delete one of the host instances, you can change the authenticated trusted property for both hosts.

To change the authenticated trusted property for both hosts

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, in the console tree, expand BizTalk Server 2006 Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, and then click Hosts.

  2. In the Hosts results pane, right-click the host that is not trusted, and then click Properties.

  3. In the <host name> - Host Properties dialog box, on the General tab, select the Authentication Trusted check box, and then click OK.

  4. Verify that the Trusted column of the host shows the value Yes.

  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the second default host.

    Now that both hosts are trusted, you can create a new host instance for the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host.

To create a new host instance for the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost host

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, in the console tree, expand BizTalk Server 2006 Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, right-click Host Instances, point to New, and then click Host Instance.

  2. In the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost - Host Instance Properties dialog box, from the Host name drop-down list, select the host for which you deleted the host instance, and then click Configure.

  3. In the Logon Credentials dialog box, do the following:

    Use this To do this

    Logon

    Type the user account name you want to use for the host instance.

    If you use a domain account for the host instance, type the name in the format domain\user name.

    Password

    Type the password for the account.

    If the account you use has administrative privileges, in the warning box, click OK to indicate that you want to use the account.

  4. Click OK to close the Logon Credentials dialog box.

  5. Click OK to close the BizTalkServerIsolatedHost - Host Instance Properties dialog box.
