IIS7 IPv4 Address Restrictions not in Web.Config


On a legacy server, we have an IIS7 site that has multiple IP addresses listed in the IPv4 Address and Domain Restrictions list. We are migrating this site to a new server. When I opened the web.config for the site expecting to find these IP addresses, I was unable to find any of these IPs listed (or even an ipSecurity section). I confirmed this is a custom list (not inherited from parent) and confirmed no IP restrictions exist for the server level either. I even checked my machine.config files for all .net versions.

Where does IIS store these IP restrictions settings if not in the web.config?


Solution

  • %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config is the file.
