Is it possible to view / edit WCF configuration inside <system.Servicemodel> in web.config ASP .Net web application by user interface in IIS Manager?

Question

I need to edit WCF configuration inside in web.config ASP .Net web application for some bug fixing. But due to the company policy I cannot edit the configuration directly in the web.config file. I need to find a way an alternative way to edit / view the configuration, and what I think is if I can edit or view the configuration by user interface in IIS manager. But I haven't find the WCF configuration in IIS manager. Is it possible to view / edit WCF configuration inside in web.config ASP .Net web application by user interface in IIS Manager?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Here's a way, how to VIEW the web.config, if your IIS permissions will allow so:

1. Open IIS Manager and your Site
2. On the bottom, there's Management/Confuguration Editor
3. There are some predefined sections to view in upper "Section" selector, but system.serviceModel is missing.
4. Click "Search configuration" on the right panel.
5. Navigate to your web.config file

Now you can see the entire secret hidden there.

This will only provide read-only access if your IIS account will allow that. I don't know how to write to it.
