Project Reporter can be installed in different configurations, depending on your
security requirements. Project Reporter requires a web server that supports Java
Servlets (as of Version 3.0, Project Reporter no longer includes the JRun
Servlet Engine). For users who do not already have a servlet-capable web server,
we recommend the free Apache Tomcat server. Servers such as Tomcat can be used
stand-alone in environments (such as a typical office intranet) without special
security requirements. If stronger security is required (such as on extranets or
the Internet), most of them can be configured to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer),
or to run in conjunction with the most popular third-party web servers, such as
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
The following topics describe how to install Project Reporter in different configurations.
For more information about which configuration is most appropriate for your
environment, see Security guidelines.
