You must install and configure the clickstream collection
server that collects the output from the tags and writes that output
to a SAS page tagging log.
Note: The Apache
Software Foundation provides an open source Web server called Apache
HTTP Server. This Web server is used as the clickstream collection
server in a SAS page tagging environment. A working Apache HTTP Server
(with or without SSL enabled) is a prerequisite to setting up this
environment. Once this prerequisite is met, install the SAS Data Surveyor
for Clickstream Data Mid-Tier software onto each Apache HTTP Server
that you intend to use as a clickstream collection server.
CAUTION:
You must configure and test the security of this server
consistent with the standards of your organization both before and
after you install the SAS Data Surveyor for Clickstream Data Mid-Tier
components.
These precautions are
necessary to protect the server from malicious attacks. In many cases,
this server is exposed on the public Internet.
