Configuration Dialog Box for a Server, Site, Application, and Virtual Directory

  • Article

Use the Configure WCF and WF dialog boxes to enter default configuration settings for a WCF or WF service. There are four default configuration dialog boxes, one each for the server, site, application, and virtual directory. To display one of these dialog boxes, you select a server, site, application, or virtual directory in the navigation pane of the IIS Manager, and then click Configure in the Actions Pane (or right-click the server, site, application, or virtual directory, point to Manage WCF and WF Services, and then click Configure). The General tab of the dialog box is displayed by default.
