How to tell Windev 23 REST webservice to use a custom web.config instead of the machine.config ?

pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT10 Dec 2018 16:54:55 Z10 Dec 2018 16:54:55 ZI have this REST webservice (wd23) deployed on a IIS7.5 webserver. I added the System.Web.Security assembly of the .Net framework to be able to call the ChangePassword method on the MembershipUser class. So I create this object: user is "System.Web.Security.MembershipUser" dynamic and I call this method: bRes is boolean = user.ChangePassword(sOldPassword,sNewPassword) This works fine in production as long as I define the membership/rolemanager providers and its connectionstring in the machine.config of the server. This is the part of the machine.config I added: <connectionStrings> <add name="MySecurityDB" connectionString="..." providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" </connectionStrings> <membership defaultProvider="MyMembershipProvider"> <providers> <add name="MyMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="MySecurityDB" applicationName="Website" ... type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" /> <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" applicationName="/" ... type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" /> </providers> </membership> <roleManager defaultProvider="MyRoleProvider"> <providers> <add name="MyRoleProvider" connectionStringName="MySecurityDB" applicationName="Website" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" /> <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" applicationName="/" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" /> </providers> </roleManager> The normal way of overriding the machine.config is to put a local web.config in the rootfolder. So if I don't add it to the machine.config but to a web.config in the root of the webservice, these settings are not picked up by the windev webservice. It seems the webservice can't find the custom web.config. I can view in my log that the webservice uses the 'default membership settings' and default 'LocalSqlServer' connectionstring of the machine.config instead. Any ideas on how to solve this ? gr, Peter30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/66924-how-tell-windev-23-rest-webservice-use-custom/read.awpHow to tell Windev 23 REST webservice to use a custom web.config instead of the machine.config ?moderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)
