Validating the IIS Configuration

Verify that an Internet Information Services (IIS) agent has installed successfully.

About this task

For a minimal configuration of the PingAccess agent for IIS, the following steps outline the changes made during installation that might need to be verified if the installer fails. Use this procedure as a guide for what to check if the installation did not complete successfully.

Steps

Stop Microsoft IIS.
1. Run the command net stop w3svc.
2. Run the command net stop was.
Edit C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config and add the following line to the sectionGroup container with name=system.webServer under configSections.

Example:
```
<section name="paa" overrideModeDefault="Deny" allowDefinition="AppHostOnly" allowLocation="false" />
```

Add the following XML block to the <system.webServer> element in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config.

Example:

<paa>
 <paaCertificateDir value="C:\Program Files\Ping Identity\PingAccess Agent for IIS\certs\" />
 <paaPropertyFiles>
  <file path="C:\Program Files\Ping Identity\PingAccess Agent for IIS\agent.properties" />
 </paaPropertyFiles>
</paa>
