Configure Client Application for CaSS

Follow these steps to configure the client application:

1. Copy the Lanteria.ApplicantSelfService.App folder to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot".
2. Create another web application in IIS Manager:
   Specify the site name (for example, ApplicantSelfServiceClientApp), application pool, and physical path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Lanteria.ApplicantSelfService.App). Set up the HTTPS binding.
   

3. Make the following changes to the appsettings.json file:

   • In IIS Manager, right-click ApplicantSelfServiceClientApp > Explore.
   • Open appsettings.json in a text editor.
   • In the ApiConfiguration section, set the Endpoint property to the URL of the API service that you have configured during the previous step. For example: https://your_domain:port/api, where your_domain is your localhost or domain name, and port is the port number.
   • In the LanteriaHRConfiguration section, set the Endpoint property to the URL specified in the HttpHandlerURL property. 
   • In the SmtpConfiguration section, specify the configuration data for SMTP.

Application Pool Configuration

We recommend the following configuration of the application pools:

1. Do not assign the application pool to a specific user (especially one with admin permissions); use ApplicationPoolIdentity as the identity.
2. Do not use a single application pool for all applications; run Lanteria HR and Candidate Self-Service on separate application pools.
3. The application and API parts of Candidate Self-Service may share the same application pool, but they can't share a pool with Lanteria HR (this statement is applicable for Candidate Self-Service running on .NET Core 10 and higher; if you are using older versions, you may use a single application pool for all applications).

Extended Web Application to use NTLM Authentication

Lanteria HR supports several authentication types: NTLM, forms-based, and external providers. Candidate Self-Service supports only NTLM authentication.

If your Lanteria HR web application does not have NTLM authentication enabled, you must extend the Lanteria HR web application to create an additional endpoint that will use NTLM authentication. Make sure that Candidate Self-Service is also configured for this extended web application.
