Web.config: Document Location Tag
* If you have to manually enter a username and password to get into the portal, you have Forms authentication and will need to make the following changes for document functionality in the webconfig.
1. Navigate to the Passageways root folder and open the web.config (usually here C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Passageways)
2. Scroll to the very bottom of the file or search for <location>.
3. Make sure the location tag looks like below:
<location path="Documents/Document.ashx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
**Make sure you don't add a duplicate tag or the portal will be brought down!! If you're not comfortable making these changes, please don't hesitate to email Passageways Technical Support at support@passageways.com.
