# Configuring IIS to use the sample applications

To see a working demonstration of the .NET Integration Kit, deploy the sample applications and configure your Internet Information Services (IIS) server.

## Steps

1. From the .NET Integration Kit `.zip` archive, copy the `sample/IdpSample` and `sample/SpSample` directories to your IIS server.

2. Create IIS applications that point to the `IdPSample` and `SPSample` directories.

   1. On the IIS Manager navigation pane, right-click your web site, and then click Add Application.

   2. In the Alias field, enter a name, such as `PingFederate .NET IdP Sample`.

   3. From the Application Pool list, select an application pool that uses .NET v4.0 and runs in Integrated mode.

   4. In the Physical path field, enter the path to the `IdpSample` directory that you copied in step 1.

   5. Finish configuring the application. Click OK.

   6. Repeat steps a-e to create a similar application for the `SpSample` directory.

3. Set the default web site document to `Default.aspx`.

   1. On the IIS Manager navigation pane, select your web site.

   2. In the details window, double-click Default Document.

   3. Set `Default.aspx` as the default content page.

4. Give ASP.NET permission to write to the sample application `config` directories.

   1. In File Explorer, right-click your `IdpSample/config` directory, and then click Properties.

   2. On the Config Properties dialog, on the Security tab, in the Group of user names section, select the ASP.NET account (IUSR or IIS\_IUSRS). Click Edit.

   3. On the Permissions for Config dialog, select Write. Click OK.

   4. On the IdpSample dialog, click OK.

   5. Repeat steps a-d for the `SpSample/config` directory.
