Edit Feature Permissions on the right hand side. Now activate the item Execute.

In order for the Web Access to access the file, it must have "Modify" permissions for the configuration file pwa.pc7 . Click here on the application pwa under Default Web Site. Click the right mouse button and you can then select Edit Permissions in the context menu. Select here the Security tab and add the object IUSR with the following permissions.

 

 

 

SSL settings

 

It is strongly recommended that you encrypt the connection to Password Safe Password Safe Web Access with SSL. This requires you to firstly make a HTTPS binding. Go toDefault Web Site and select the item Bindings on the right hand side. Click here on Add. In the following window, select the type https. If your server has multiple IP addresses, select the desired one here. If the server has only one IP address, it doesn't need to be assigned. A self-signed certificate can be used as an SSL certificate. However, it is strongly recommended that you purchase a certificate from a service provider e.g. Thawte. If you have not purchased an official certificate, please ensure that your certificate is sufficiently trusted. Otherwise, the certificate will be displayed in red and shown as insecure in the browser.

 

 

Now highlight the application again and then select the item SSL Settings . You can now activate the option Require SSL. If desired, you can also select the option Require 128-bit SSL in addition.
