Complete post-installation tasks

This topic describes how to complete post-installation tasks.

Post-installation tasks include authorizing the web service user, configuring the application pool identity, and setting the authentication method for the virtual directory.

To authorize the web service user

  1. Locate the web.config file for the virtual directory specified during installation.

    The location of the virtual directory folder depends on the site specified during installation. For example, if you selected default web site and specified Nintex.Workflow.ECS for the virtual directory, then the path to the web.config file is as follows.

    C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Nintex.Workflow.ECS\web.config

  2. Right-click the web.config file and select Edit.

  3. Within the <authorization> section of the web.config file, replace [local windows account] with the web service account created during installation.

    Original <authorization> section:

    <authorization>
    <allow users=”[local windows account]”/>
    <deny users=”*”/>
    </authorization>

    Example of revised <authorization> section:

    <authorization>
    <allow users=”SystemName\WebServiceUser”/>
    <deny users=”*”/>
    </authorization>

  4. Save the web.config file, ensuring that no other changes are made.

    You are now ready to configure the application pool identity.
