While it might not be obvious how to assign a iprange as an Allow (or Deny) entry in IIS, it is simple to do.
Simply enter the prefix instead of the netmask in the field for “Mask or Prefix”
Example of how to allow the 16 bit local ip block 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
Result:
Using a default document located in a subfolder is easy, just fill in the path to the document, and it will be used (The path and document name will not be displayed in the browser).
<system.webServer> <defaultDocument enabled="true"> <files> <clear/> <add value="path/to/page.ashx"/> </files> </defaultDocument> </system.webServer> |
In order to turn Compatibility mode on for Internet Explorer the server should send “X-UA-Compatible” as a header with the value IE=EmulateIE9. This will force Internet explorer to use compatibility mode if it is a version higher than 9
If we using ISS (making for instance a asp.net project) the following web.config can be used to do this.
<configuration> <!-- Other settings --> <system.webServer> <httpProtocol> <customHeaders> <clear /> <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=EmulateIE9" /> </customHeaders> </httpProtocol> </system.webServer> </configuration> |
Mode details on the possible values for the header tag
Sometimes sending this as a header tag works, then this should be sent first in the header tag
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9" /> |
In order to turn Compatibility mode off for Internet Explorer the server should send “X-UA-Compatible” as a header with the value IE=Edge. This will force Internet explorer to use the latest mode the version has (this works from IE 6 to 11 and up)
If we using ISS (making for instance a asp.net project) the following web.config can be used to do this.
<configuration> <!-- Other settings --> <system.webServer> <httpProtocol> <customHeaders> <clear /> <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=Edge" /> </customHeaders> </httpProtocol> </system.webServer> </configuration> |
To make this change for one project at a time:
In “Web.config”find the line saying “compilation debug=true” and switch this to false.
To make this change for the entire server:
In “%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%VersionNumber%\CONFIG\Machine.config” find the line saying “compilation debug=true” and switch this to false.
