To Configur ALIM

The ALIM application must be configured in order to incorporate Windows Integrated Authentication.

Follow these steps to enable Windows Authentication in ALIM.

  1. On the ALIM Web Server server, navigate to the installation folder, for example, C:\inetpub\wwwroot\alim .
  2. Using a text editor, open the web.config configuration file.
  3. In the <system.web> section, do the following:
    1. Locate the <authentication mode="none"/> attribute, and change its value to "Windows"
    2. Set <identity impersonate="true" />
    For example,
    <system.web>
       <authentication mode="Windows" />
       <identity impersonate="true" />
       <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.5" />
       >httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" requestValidationMode="4.5" maxUrlLength="2048" />
    </system.web>
  4. Locate the <system.webServer> section, and then locate the <modules> section, and delete the following line:
    <add
    				name="WSFederationAuthenticationModule"
    				type="System.IdentityModel.Services.WSFederationAuthenticationModule,
    				System.IdentityModel.Services, Version-4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
    				PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" preCondition-"managedHandler" />
  5. Locate the <appSettings> section, and insert the following line: <add key="AllowIntegratedWindowsFileDownloads" value="true" />
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Open the config.json configuration file that corresponds to the override config that you are using for the website, and change its authentication key to "authentication": "Integrated"
  8. Save and close the file, and then close the text editor.
