Definition='MachineToApplication'

Error: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
I faced with above error while implementing VB.net+MySQL application yesterday in the company where I am working. Actually this error will come when Virtual Directory is not being configured as an ASP.NET application. To do so we have to follow below steps :- 



  1. Open the IIS Administration Console on the server.
  2. Right click on the Virtual Directory where the application files are published
  3. There is a "Application Settings" section. Just hit "Create" in front of the "Application Name" textbox, then hit "Ok"
  4. Check that the Virtual Directory appears with a different icon, it should be ok no
Now Copy folder which contains your content under wwwroot directory. Then open IIS Manager. Find Sites->Default Web Site->YourContentFolder right click on it select "convert to application" 

Then this error got resolved.

Configure Impersonation Authentication in IIS8 for MVC Application

Impersonation is when ASP.NET executes code in the context of an authenticated and authorized client. By default, ASP.NET does not use impersonation and instead executes all code using the same user account as the ASP.NET process, which is typically the ASPNET account. There are 5 below steps by which we can establish Impersonation configuration in our secured application environment. 1.)    Creation of Application/Proxy user where Application is hosted. 2.)    Give appropriate access to the user. 3.)    Create Database Login user on database. 4.)    Authenticate User and provide credential on IIS. 5.)    Then Configure web.config on Application.
