  2. Install and configure Netscape FastTrack, Enterprise Server or other Application/Web Server that supports NSAPI.

  3. Add the following Mime-Type to the mime.types file.

    type=magnus-internal/servlet exts=servlet

  4. Add the following lines in the Init section before <Object name=default> to the obj.conf file.

    Init fn=load-modules funcs=process_request shlib="path"

    path the path to the iServer NSAPI Gateway, normally c:/iws/bin/win32/nsapiGateway.dll.

  5. Add the following lines in the NameTrans section in
    <Object name=default> to the obj.conf file.

    NameTrans fn=assign-name from=alias* name=object

    alias the URI used to access the iServer NSAPI Gateway, normally /servlet.
    object the name of the NSAPI Gateway object, normally igateway.

  6. Add the following lines after <Object name=default> to the obj.conf file.

    <Object name="object">
    ObjectType fn=force-type type=magnus-internal/servlet
    Service fn=process_request
       method="(methods)"
       type=magnus-internal/servlet
       debug=debug
       server=host_name:port
       interval=interval
       retry=retry
    </Object>

    debug whether to make a dump of the request/response to \temp\nsapiGateway.log [ true | false ], normally false.
    host_name the name of the host computer running iServer. If iServer is running on the same computer as the iServer NSAPI Gateway then localhost can be used.
