Web-based AASHTOWare Project uses several files to configure the application, which can be customized to accommodate the specific needs of your agency.

Web Application Settings

You can edit the web.config file to configure the system application settings. The following settings are available in the application settings section (appSettings) of the web.config file:

httpRuntime maxRequestLength

This sets the limit for the maximum size http request that the server will accept from the client. The value is initially set to 102,400 (kilobytes), but you can increase this if needed.

httpRuntime executionTimeout

Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET. The system default is 300. If the number is high, it will affect performance and the system will slow down.

appSettings
SSL

This setting is used to enable the SSL encryption feature for usernames and passwords. The value is initially set to "false." For more information on using SSL encryption, see Using SSL Encryption for Logins.

Configuring the Session Timeout

By default, the session timeout length is set with a sliding expiration of 30 minutes. You can edit the session timeout using the AppSettings.config file in the UiHost directory. For more information, refer to the Web-Based AASHTOWare Project Installation Instructions. The session timeout is also affected by the agency options for Session Timeout and Session Timeout Warning.
