Admin Console

and open

web.config

in a text editor.

2. Uncomment the

<configSections>

settings block located at after the instructions for

Web

Page Security

by deleting the

<!--

and

-->

characters before and after the paragraph.

Example 3 – Uncomment configSections

A sample of a partial

web.config

file is shown below with the comments removed in order to

make the Admin pages secure.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

<!-- WEB PAGE SECURITY

This section will redirect any matchingpages to the HTTPS protocol for SSl
security, and, if needed, redirect any non-matching pages (or pages matching an
entry marked secure="false" to the HTTP protocol to remove the security and
encryption.

<!-- Remove comments around configSections and secureWebPages to enable login page
security settings. -->
