Considerations When Installing AppFabric

The following considerations should be taken into account before beginning your installation.

Security Model

The Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server security model is integrated with Windows, IIS, and SQL Server security models. You should understand these models before you begin your installation.

Remote Management

To perform remote management of AppFabric, use IIS Manager remoting for the AppFabric hosting features and Windows PowerShell remoting for the AppFabric Caching features. In the client operating system, you must install the management console. For more information, see IIS Manager for Remote Administration (32-bit) (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=178523) or IIS Manager for Remote Administration (64-bit) (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=178524).

Installation and Configuration Issues

AppFabric installation will fail if the serviceAutoStartProvider element is missing from the ApplicationHost.config file

You can resolve this issue by adding the serviceAutoStartProvider element to the application node of the ApplicationHost.config file. Add the following element if it does not already exist:

<configuration>
    <system.applicationHost>
        <serviceAutoStartProviders/>

Also create the following section. This is in a different location of the ApplicationHost.config file.

<ConfigSections>
    <SectionGroup name=”blah”>
        <section name="serviceAutoStartProviders" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" 
            overrideModeDefault="Deny" />”
