| SQL SERVER REMOTE INSTALLATION |
. | . | .
| If you chose to install the Portal database remotely, you need to manually run the SQL scripts provided in the Setup subfolder. Then you also need to change the SQL connection string attribute in the web.config files for both sites. Running SQL scripts on remote server:

2. |  | Run Setup\Portal_CreateDB.sql.
3. |  | Run Setup\Portal_GrantPermissions_ForRemote.sql.
4. |  | Run Setup\Portal_LoadData.sql.
Running the scripts creates a SQL login, PortalUser, with this password: PortalUser Changing the SQL Connection String in the web.config file for remote SQL Server installation:
1. |  | Open the web.config file from PortalCSVS directory using a text editor.
2. |  | Under <configuration>\<appSettings>\<add key="ConnectionString" ... />, change the value attribute.
3. |  | Modify the value attribute to the desired connection string (you can't use Integrated Security) using PortalUser as both the uid and pwd pointing to the remote SQL Server. web.config section: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=REMOTE_SERVER;database=Portal;uid=PortalUser;pwd=PortalUser;" />
