.NAME
SPWebApplication # Description This resource is responsible for creating a web application within the local SharePoint farm. The resource will provision the web application with all of the current settings, and then ensure that it stays part of the correct application pool beyond that (additional checking and setting of properties) The default value for the Ensure parameter is Present. When not specifying this parameter, the web application is provisioned. Note: When using Host Header Site Collections, do not use the HostHeader parameter in SPWebApplication. This will set the specified host header on your IIS site and prevent the site from listening for the URL of the Host Header Site Collection. If you want to change the IIS website binding settings, please use the xWebsite resource in the xWebAdministration module. .PARAMETER Name Key - string The name of the web application .PARAMETER ApplicationPool Required - string The name of the application pool to run this site in .PARAMETER ApplicationPoolAccount Required - string The name of the managed account to run the app pool with .PARAMETER Url Required - string The URL of the web application .PARAMETER AllowAnonymous Write - boolean Should anonymous access be enabled for this web app .PARAMETER UseClassic Write - boolean Create the web application with Classic authentication (only used during creation of a new web application) .PARAMETER DatabaseName Write - string The name of the first content database to be created with this web app .PARAMETER DatabaseServer Write - string The name of the database server to host the default content DB .PARAMETER HostHeader Write - string The host header to use for the web app .PARAMETER Path Write - string The path on the local servers to host the IIS web site from .PARAMETER Port Write - string The port to run the site on .PARAMETER Ensure Write - string Allowed values: Present, Absent Present if the web app should exist, absent if it should not .PARAMETER InstallAccount Write - string POWERSHELL 4 ONLY: The account to run this resource as, use PsDscRunAsCredential if using PowerShell 5 .EXAMPLE This example shows how to create a new web application in the local farm Configuration Example { param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [PSCredential] $SetupAccount ) Import-DscResource -ModuleName SharePointDsc node localhost { SPWebApplication HostNameSiteCollectionWebApp { Name = "SharePoint Sites" ApplicationPool = "SharePoint Sites" ApplicationPoolAccount = "CONTOSO\svcSPWebApp" AllowAnonymous = $false DatabaseName = "SP_Content_01" DatabaseServer = "SQL.contoso.local\SQLINSTANCE" Url = "http://example.contoso.local" Port = 80 Ensure = "Present" PsDscRunAsCredential = $SetupAccount } } } |
