# Portal configuration

## Configure Anywhere Portal

### Cloud configuration

For setting up the Portal to connect to a cloud instance or Azure tenant, see [here](/business-central/docs/bc-for-bc-on-cloud).

### On-premise configuration

An overview of all application settings for the Portal is available [here](/business-central/docs/bc-portal-settings).

After installing the Anywhere Portal, carry out the following configuration steps:

1. Set the properties for the web service. In Internet Information Services (IIS), go to the newly created website: **Administrative Tools** > **IIS Manager** > > **Web Sites** > **Default Web Site** > **DAW** > **PRD** > **Portal**.
  - Select **Portal** and find the next view. ![Authentication](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/Anywhere_IISManagerAuthentication.png)
  - Go to **Authentication** and enable anonymous access. Set the user as the same user running the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Server [DynamicsNAV]. This installation guide uses "NetworkService" as a built-in account. If this is the same user as the application pool, you can select application pool identity.
2. Select the **Application settings**.

3. Set **WebServiceURL** to your Microsoft Dynamics Business Web Services location. For a default installation it is similar to: `http://:7047/DynamicsNAV100/WS/`. You can also open the Web Services page and copy the SOAP URL from the NDAW Web Service line. Remove the remaining string after WS/.

4. Use **ApiBaseUrl** to retrieve the license configured in the **Anywhere Mobility Solutions Setup** page using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central API.

  - On-premise example: `https://://api/`
  - Cloud example: `https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0//api/`
5. When the application pool identity does not match the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Business Web Services user, specify the user with these keys:

The company dropdown no longer appears in the Anywhere Portal:

  - **WebServicePassword**
  - **WebServiceDomain**
