Web configuration files
Every UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin activity has a Web.config file that contains information for ASP.NET on how the activity will be run and accessed. For general information on Web.config files refer to the MSDN documentation.
The Web.config files for UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin activities are all very similar and generally contain the following code towards the end of the file.
<authentication mode="Forms"/>
<forms loginURL="Login/default.aspx">
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?">
</authorization>
<identity impersonate="true">
<machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate" validation="3DES" decryption="3DES"/>
<location path="ApplicationInit.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
Sections
authentication
Forces the activity to use the shared Login program for authentication, and to present the user with a login page on which to enter an appropriate user name and password.
authorization
Denies access to Anonymous ASP.NET-authenticated users.
identity
Forces all activities to run at the process level using the Anonymous Access user that was defined when UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin was installed. This means there is only one user who needs to be given permission to databases and file systems instead of many.
machineKey
Specifies the file encryption algorithms and ensures that the user never sees an NT authentication dialog. If this section is not present in the configuration file, then the use of frames can cause IIS to decide that the user is not authenticated and to display the NT login dialog.
location
Forces the activity to share forms authentication keys.
appSettings section
Some Web.config files have an appSettings section defining various keys or properties that control access to the activity's features and specify how some of those features should work. You can change the values of these keys to change how an activity works at your site. Activities and other components that have this section are:
Buffer size for uploaded files (File Manager Web Service, used for all file uploads)
