Does 7.5.4 "require" a Web Server for Mobile, sData or Intellisync?

[LEsposito]

If upgrading from 7.2.2 to 7.5.4 with plans to leverage the Mobile Client, sData and Intellisync, will it be *required* to add a Web Server to our environment even if we have no intentions of using the Web Client at this time?

I've read most of the documentation relating to the upgrade and see multiple references to a required Web portal and a WebDLL for the referenced technologies and I checked with our DBA/Developer but not having read the documentation yet, she wasn't sure.

Thanks,

If it does require a Web Server, can it be on the same machine as the Application Server?

Thanks again,

A  - It requires a web server (IIS6 or IIS7) 32 or 64 bit

         One "app" is theSlxMobile - it is ONLY used to load the mobile app into the device

          Second "app" is the SData portal - ALL mobile data (to/from) SalesLogix goes thru this portal

B - Can be where ever you want it to be. 

Heads up.. it is VERY easy to get a non-operational configuration ands spin your wheels big time. Suggest you spend a few $$$ and have someone who has done this tons of times help you thru it.

Good practice: Get a "certificate" and run https.
