Enable URLs with /bin

Enable URLs with /bin

By default, IIS does not serve resources from request paths which contain the directory /bin. You must disable this filter to serve the Web Gateway management pages.

If the installer configured the Web Gateway automatically, this step was done automatically for you. If you are installing the Web Gateway manually, you must perform this configuration manually.

The following procedure enables IIS to serve the Web Gateway management pages specifically:

1. Open the applicationHost.config file in a text editor. The file is usually located in the C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\Config directory. To find the location of this file on your system:

   1. Select (double-click) the Configuration Editor from the Home page for your localhost connection or any site item within that connection in the Connections panel.

   2. Select Search Configuration... from the Actions panel.

   3. In the Hierarchy View, select ApplicationHost.config (or any of its child items). When you do so, the Configuration Search dialog displays the location of the ApplicationHost.config file.

2. At the end of the <configuration> block (but within it), append the following <Location> tag:

   <location path="localhost/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw">
       <system.webServer>
           <security>
              <requestFiltering>
                 <hiddenSegments>
                    <remove segment="bin" />                    
                  </hiddenSegments>
              </requestFiltering>
           </security>
        </system.webServer>
    </location>
   
   

   

3. Save the file.

4. If you are finished configuring IIS, restart it to allow configuration changes to take effect.
