How To Disable Ektron Modules and Handlers in IIS 7 Virtual Applications

(Ektron CMS 400.Net,Microsoft IIS,Microsoft ASP.NET) by Jason Skowronek on 10/21/2009

I recently came across a scenario where we had to configure a separate virtual application under our Ektron site. As you are aware, Ektron is heavy with it's own HttpHandlers and modules. This is the contents of a bare-bones web.config file you can drop into your virtual application directory to disable the offending Ektron DLLs from running and failing.

Update 1:

I ran across a KB article posted by Ektron on this topic as well. They offer a more in-depth list of modules/handlers to disable in the web.config.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
 <system.web>
  <customErrors mode="Off">
  </customErrors>
 </system.web>
    <system.webServer>
  <handlers>
   <remove name="ek*" />
   <remove name="ekdav" />
   <remove name="EktronWorkflowImage" />
  </handlers>
  <modules>
   <remove name="MyDigestAuthenticationModule" />
   <remove name="EkUrlAliasModule" />
  </modules>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>
