Split web interface directories across different websites

Question

I am running the web interface on a separate server from the Adaxes Service and all 3 directories (admin, helpdesk, selfservice) are currently install in a single IIS site.

I want to split these up into 3 different IIS websites, so that I can have different URL's and make selfservice externally accessible outside the firewall, but not admin and helpdesk.

If I do this, would I break any functionality?

What kind of issues would I run into when I need to run an upgrade on the server running the web interface and these three different websites?

In the Adaxes Service properties, there is a Web Interface tab where you can set the web interface address and a path template. The note indicates that this info is used for web links in email notifications. For all of the various email notifications that would pull from these fields, are the email templates ones I can customize, and thus hardcode web links so they reference the correct URL's, given that I am intending to split the web interface across multiple websites?

No.

There should be no issues.

No, the link can lead only to one Web Interface that should be accessible for all users. We have this feature in our TODO list.

As I am going to use a dedicated website for SelfService, I don't need it to be referenced by a subdirectory (virtual directory) like the installer sets up. I tried to leave the virtual directory blank during install but it would not take it.

I set the physical path in the IIS site to the place the SelfService application points (C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Web Interface\SelfService) and removed the SelfService application entry on the site.

Everything is working as far as I can see so far. Any issues with continuing with things this way?
