Secure Ad Hoc Transfer's Configuration File

Secure Ad Hoc Transfer uses a configuration file, web.config, located by default in C:\Inetpub\EFTAdHoc. The installer captures and records all necessary values; however, you can manually change those settings in the IIS Manager. Alternately, you can manually edit web.config (e.g., in a text editor or Visual Studio), but you have to be very careful with your edits so as not to introduce errors in the formatting of the file. You should create a backup copy of the file before editing.

To open the EFTAdHoc Properties

Open the Internet Information Services manager. (Click Start, Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.)
Expand the Web Sites node, then expand the Default Web Site node.
Right-click EFTAdHoc, then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, click the ASP.NET tab. (If the Properties dialog box does not have an ASP.NET tab, refer to AdHoc Properties Missing ASP.NET Tab.)
Click Edit Configuration. The ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box appears.
Click the General tab. The settings in the web.config file for the SAT Module appear in the Application settings area.
To change a value, click it, then click Edit. In the Edit/Add Application Settings dialog box, type the new value, then click OK. Do not remove any of the keys.
After you have viewed/edited the configuration, click OK to close the dialog boxes, then, in the IIS Manager, click File > Close. It is not necessary to restart the service or reboot.

Any changes you make to the file must be replicated on any computer running EFT Server.
