Web Configuration Reference (Master Data Services)

[!INCLUDE SQL Server - Windows only ASDBMI]

[!INCLUDE support-notice]

[!INCLUDEssMDSshort] uses a Web.config file to contain the configuration settings that enable Internet Information Services (IIS) to host the [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] Web application and the Web service. This Web.config file is located in the WebApplication folder of the [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] installation path. For more information about the path and permissions, see Folder and File Permissions (Master Data Services).

Web.Config Elements

The Web.config file contains a custom [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] element, <masterDataServices>, in addition to standard IIS, .NET Framework, ASP.NET, and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) configuration elements. The following table describes the elements included in the Web.config file.
