To install Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, you run Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Setup. Setup installs a website for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client on an Internet Information Services server and configures the connection from Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.
The connection information is saved in the web.config file of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client site. After installation, you can change the configuration by modifying the web.config file.
Note
|
If you
have set up multiple Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client applications on the same website, then each application has its own web.config file that you can modify. For more information, see How
to: Set Up Multiple Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client Applications on a
Website.

About the web.config File
The web.config file is an .xml file that you can edit with a text editor, such as Notepad. By default, the web.config file is located in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\70\Web Client folder.If you have set up multiple Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client applications on the same website, then each application has its own web.config file that you can modify.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client. For more information, see How
to: Configure User Authentication for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client
and Users

Web client can only connect to a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance that
has been associated with a service principal name (SPN). If this parameter is set to false, then the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client attempts to connect to the configured Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server service, regardless of whether that service is associated with an SPN. For more information about SPNs, see How to: Set Up Delegation on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Portal Framework. Default: false |

Default: true |
|||
| UnknownSpnHint | Specifies whether to use server principal name when establishing the
connection between the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client server and Microsoft
Dynamics NAV Server. This setting is used to authenticate the Microsoft
Dynamics NAV Server, and it prevents the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client
server from restarting when it connects to Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server for
the first time. You set values that are based on the value of the
ServicePrincipalNameRequired key. Value: The value has the following format. (net.tcp://NavServer:Port/ServerInstance/Service)=NoSpn|SPN
If you set this key to the incorrect value, then during startup, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client will automatically determine a correct value. This will cause the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client to restart.
