3. Save the asset
3. Configure the app

2. Enter the details of your server as follow:
Where:
- Protocol: select the appropriate server protocol (use HTTPS if your server has this feature. Read more about HTTPS here).

- Port: the is 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS). Read more about HTTPS here.
- IIS name: blank by default.
