These settings include the list of management modules that are installed for the IIS Manager tool, as well as configuration settings for management modules. This configuration file contains the settings that indicate the location where the centralized configuration files are stored. It may mark the attribute for automatic encryption on-disk.
It may specify if the word "Infinite" is allowed as a value for the attribute only for numeric types such as int and in64, and for timeSpan.
It may specify the timespan format seconds, minutes or formatted string for timespan attributes. It may specify validation rules for the attributes see Attribute Validation section below in this document.
Elements can be nested. An element is simply a container for other attributes, or sub-elements. Collections contain multiple elements, which can be added and removed from them individually. Typically the collection directive names are "add", "remove" and "clear", but some collections use different names for clarity for example, the collection is using "site" instead of "add".
This is done by specifying values for addElement, removeElement and clearElement in the collection schema. If a collection directive is missing from the schema, the collection will not support it.
The collection schema may specify the name of a default element that will be used as a container of default values for collection elements this complements isCollectionDefault in the element schema. For example, the collection is using siteDefaults as the default element.
For example, consider two levels of configuration: applicationHost. In applicationHost. This is mostly done to support legacy collections in the. NET framework in machine. Some collections may allow additional attributes in them, beyond those specified in the schema.
It is mostly done to support provider-based collections in the. NET framework. Every value must have a friendly name and a numerical value. Every attribute of type "flags" must define its flag values in a corresponding XML element in the schema. Every flag must have a friendly name and a numerical value that can be ORed together with other values to form combinations; therefore, the value should be in multiples of 2.
Attribute validation is done when parsing the XML to get a section from the file, and when calling the configuration API to set values. If validation fails, it fails the desired operation getting the section or setting the invalid value. Each attribute may associate one validator for its value. Also check this answer from here: Cannot manually edit applicationhost. So in practice what happens is you open applicationhost. How to get around this? Simple - use a 64bit text editor, such as the normal notepad that ships with windows.
Specifically, is it safe to carefully edit this file instead of using IIS Manager or the appcmd command line utility? You can edit the applicationhost. You will find a nice introduction to the applicationHost. There's also a thorough Reference for all elements in the IIS config schema. Another helpful bit to know: when you manually edit the applicationHost. IIS actually takes a snapshot of the config for each application and doesn't update it until something changes for that application.
