I am using EnterpriseModernAppManagement CSP to install and set settings for some UWP app as defined here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn904956(v=vs.85).aspx
.../PackageFamilyName/AppSettingPolicy/SettingValue (only for
./User/Vendor/MSFT) Added in Windows 10, version 1511. The
SettingValue and data represent a key value pair to be configured for
the app.
UWP app installs correctly and settings setup (via AppSettingPolicy) execute successfully.
But how do I now access those custom settings inside the app itself with c#?
Both Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSetting.Values and Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings.Values key/value pairs seem empty and unaffected by MDM changes.
Is there any way to send arbitrary settings/configuration to a custom UWP application via MDM?
Apparently, new container is created in app's local settings after AppSettingPolicy key value pairs are pushed via EnterpriseModernAppManagement CSP.
Values can be accessed via:
ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Containers["Managed.App.Settings"].Values
It would be nice if this was documented somewhere! :)

I need to set my AppPool's StartMode to AlwaysRunning.
I can go ahead and change that setting in IIS -> My-AppPool -> Advanced Settings fine; however I would need to redo it after each release, which is not ideal.
I release my app using TFS release template. I already have an IIS Web App Manage task in there and could use the Additional appcmd.exe commands section to do this:
set config "Default Web Site/Test" -section:applicationPools -[name='$(TestSite_AppPool)'].startMode:AlwaysRunning
All good, however I am getting the following error:
ERROR ( message:Can not set attribute "startMode" to value "AlwaysRunning,".. Reason: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".
Is this a show-stopper or anything could be done within the TFS template to make it work? Or maybe it is a syntax problem?
Turned out to be a syntax problem and this works instead:
set apppool "TestSite_AppPooll" /autoStart:true /startMode:AlwaysRunning
I've got a webapp for containers running in Azure that I have working locally with a local appsettings file.
once I deploy to Azure, I want the container to pull appsettings values from the azure settings. These are set via AzureDevops and appear correctly when I check the portal.
However, the site is not pulling the appsettings values from Azure once deployed. It is using the ones from the file. I am using the double-underscore names as specified.
I have created a testcontroller to output the appsettings values. This is an a snippet of what the test view outputs:
Build version: 2019.1.23.1
Location: local
Database__DatabaseConnectionString: Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=application;Data Source=.
---
-------
Env vars: Key WEBSITE_AUTH_SIGNING_KEY Value ASDS*(&*&*(SDSD05C29
Key DOTNET_RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER Value true
Key WEBSITE_ROLE_INSTANCE_ID Value 0
Key Database__DatabaseConnectionString Value Server=tcp:servername01.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=application;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=applicationUser;Password=password;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
Key APPSETTING_Database__DatabaseConnectionString Value Server=tcp:servername01.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=application;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=applicationUser;Password=password;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
As can be seen, the Database__DatabaseConnectionString should be consumed by the app. But it's not being.
What could be the problem here? This should be standard functionality according to the aspnetcore documentation.
Turns out this was a bug in the application. The controllers in question has an injected IOptions being injected into the constructor. Unfortunately, one of the controllers had different behaviour as a concrete instance was being inject in instead. As this object was not being correctly initialised in Startup.cs, this has the effect of passing empty values into the constructor.
Finally as empty values were found, this mean the default appsettings.json values were used.
Having fixed this above bug (by ensuring all controller use the same IOptions values), the azure appsettings values are being picked up and used correctly by the application at startup time.
I have a java web app configured with apache v9.0 and eclipse IDE. What I need is to keep my database in C:\db so It cannot be access directly from outside and should be away from my webapp project directory. What I don't is how to let my web app know that if a user request for a file it should go and check it in my C:\db and reply back with the file.
Based in my research, some was saying to specify my directory in my webapp web.xml file and others was saying I need to specify it in my tomcat/conf/server.xml file.
I'd really appreciate if somebody tell me what to do?
Try adding your database path C:\db as JVM argument and accessing it in application. you may try this as two ways either set as system property and access when it required or set as JVM argument and access it.
SetSystemProperties
System.setProperty("database", "C:\\db");
.
.
access it as and when required
String databasepath= System.getProperty("database");
Setting as JVM Arguments.
Double Click on your tomcat server on which your web application is present.
Click on "Open launch configuration" link and go to Arguments Tab.
in vmArguments apend the entry like below.
-Ddatabase="C:\db"
A -D is placed in front of each system property that we are passing in as a VM argument, and following this is an equal sign followed by the value of that system property.
And access it in your project where its required like below.
String databasepath= System.getProperty("database");
I'm currently hosting Artifactory on Tomcat8/JDK1.8.
If I check the system info screen, I can see that files are being written in /u01/usr/share/tomcat8/.artifactory/
However, in the servlet configuration in bin/setenv.sh, I specified the Artifactory home to be somewhere else:
-DARTIFACTORY_HOME=/u01/opt/artifactory
Then, I discovered in the docs, it's supposed to be lower case:
-Dartifactory_home=/u01/opt/artifactory
I rebooted Tomcat after the changes and the path targetted is still /u01/usr/share/tomcat8/.artifactory. The folder is owned by the user running Tomcat as well.
Why isn't it using the specified home dir?
This seems a bit old but for others that struggle with it, you need to set an Environment variable ARTIFACTORY_HOME in your Tomcat startup script not a System variable via -D parameter.
Linux
set ARTIFACTORY_HOME=/pathto/your/artifactory
Windows
"set ARTIFACTORY_HOME=C:\path to your/artifactory"
Notice the quotes for Windows
System properties are set on the Java command line using the -Dpropertyname=value syntax. They can also be added at runtime using System.setProperty(String key, String value) or via the various System.getProperties().load() methods.
To get a specific system property you can use System.getProperty(String key) or System.getProperty(String key, String def).
Environment variables are set in the OS, e.g. in Linux export HOME=/Users/myusername or on Windows SET WINDIR=C:\Windows etc, and, unlike properties, may not be set at runtime.
To get a specific environment variable you can use System.getenv(String name).
I have a shared Windows hosting account with IIS7.5 and Plesk 10.4 .
Now, when I try to visit every page, an aspx page, some php pages, or even a jpg file, it shows This error:

500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you
are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
This is last lines of log file: (which plesk shows for me)

To configure ASP.NET Settings for a site:
If you are subscribed to several hosting packages and have access to several webspaces associated with your account, in the Subscription menu at the top of the screen, select the required webspace.
Go to the Websites & Domains tab and click your website's domain name.
Click ASP.NET Settings.
Set up the strings that determine database connection data for ASP.NET applications that use databases. This option is available only for ASP.NET 2.0.x.
When you open the ASP.NET configuration screen for the first time, sample connection parameters with common constructions are displayed. You can delete them and specify your own strings.
To add a string, enter the required data into the Name and Connection Parameters input fields and click next to them.
To remove a string, click next to it.
Set up custom error messages that will be returned by ASP.NET applications in the Custom Error Settings field:
To set the custom error messages mode, select an appropriate option from the Custom error mode menu:
On - custom error messages are enabled.
Off - custom error messages are disabled and detailed errors are to be shown.
RemoteOnly - custom error messages are displayed only to remote clients, and ASP.NET errors are shown to the local host users.
To add a new custom error message (which will be applied unless the Off mode was selected), enter the values in the Status Code and Redirect URL fields, and click .
Status Code defines the HTTP status code resulting in redirection to the error page.
Redirect URL defines the web address of the error page presenting information about the error to the client.
Due to possible conflicts, you cannot add a new custom error message with an error code that already exists, but you can redefine the URL for the existing code.
To remove a custom error message from the list, click next to it.
Configure compilation settings in the Compilation and Debugging field:
To determine the programming language to be used as default in dynamic compilation files, choose an entry from Default web page language list.
To enable compiling retail binaries, leave the Switch on debugging checkbox empty.
To enable compiling debug binaries, select the Switch on debugging checkbox. In this case, the source code fragments containing error will be shown in a diagnostic page message.
Note. When running applications in debug mode, a memory and/or performance overhead occurs. It is recommended to use debugging when testing an application and to disable it before deploying the application into production scenario.
Configure encoding settings for ASP.NET applications in the Globalization Settings section:
To set an adopted encoding of all incoming requests, enter an encoding value into the Request encoding field (default is utf-8).
To set an adopted encoding of all responses, enter an encoding value into the Response encoding field (default is utf-8).

To set a culture which must be used by default for processing incoming web requests, select an appropriate item from the Culture list.
To set a culture which must be used by default when processing searches for a locale-dependent resource, select an appropriate item from the UI Culture list.
Set a code access security trust level for ASP.NET applications in the Code Access Security field.
CAS trust level is a security zone to which applications execution is assigned, defining what server resources the applications will have access to.
Important: When an assembly is assigned a trust level that is too low, it does not function correctly. For more information on the permissions levels see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/THCMCh09.asp?frame=true#c09618429_010.
Enable the usage of the auxiliary scripts in the Script Library Settings field. Specifying the script library settings is necessary if the validation web controls are used on your web site. This option is available only for ASP.NET 1.1.x.
If you need to use auxiliary scripts (specifically, scripts implementing objects for validating input data), provide the settings for .NET framework script library. To do so, enter the path beginning with the domain root directory preceded by the forward slash into the Path to Microsoft script library field, or click the folder icon next to the Path to Microsoft script library field and browse for the required location.
To initiate the auto-installation of files containing the scripts to the specified location, select the Install checkbox. If the files already exist there, they will be rewritten.
