Where to put MailLicense.xml

Question

Where should I put the Maillicense.xml file to make it work. Putting it in the root-folder (same folder as web.config) makes it possible for anyone to download it.

Please help. Where should I place it?

Best regards / AJ

Answer 1

The license file is loaded from the root folder application.

Putting it in the root-folder (same folder as web.config) makes it possible for anyone to download it.

You need to configure your server to prevent that.

You can use .htaccess file for that e.g.:

AuthName Secured
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
<Files MailLicense.xml>
Require user admin
</Files>

or web.config (IIS 7.0):

<system.webServer>
     <handlers>
         <add name="BlockLicense" 
            verb="*" 
            path="MailLicense.xml" 
            type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" />
     </handlers>
</system.webServer>
