Configuring local security

When you have installed the Archive Manager Explorer on the same machine as your Content Manager, you can implement security.

  1. Open the Web.Config file located in the root of the Archive Manager Explorer Web application in a text editor.
  2. In the <appSettings> section, set the authorization.method value to CoreService to use Content Manager authorization:
    <add key="authorization.method" value="CoreService"/>
  3. In the <httpModules> section, make sure the AuthorizationModule is not commented out:
    <httpModules>
      <add name="ArchiveUrlRewriter" type="ArchiveUrlRewriter"/>
      <add name="AuthorizationModule" type="AuthorizationModule"/>
    </httpModules>		  
  4. In the <appSettings> section of your In the Web.Config file, locate the following line and specify the TCM ID of your Archive Manager User Group in the value field. For example:
    <add key="security.group.uri" value="tcm:0-24-65568"/>
  5. Save and close Web.Config.
  6. Configure IIS security settings:
    • In IIS, select the Archive Manager Web site and click Properties.
    • In the Directory Security tab, click Edit for Authentication and access control. The Authentication Method dialog box opens.
    • Set the Authentication Method to Integrated Windows Authentication or Basic Authentication.
