Changing the authentication for the clickonce application

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to change the authentication of the clickonce application. At the moment its set to navpassword and I would like to change it to AccessControlService. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to edit the application manifest? 

We are running Navision 2015

    Edit ClientUserSettings.config of ClickOnce Package, change value of key ClientServicesCredentialType to AccessControlService, save, try again.

    What I did was edit the clickonce installer config file found in the iis web folder (C:\inetpub\ClickOnce_Company\Deployment\ApplicationFiles)and followed the instructions to update the manifest msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh997056(v=nav.80).aspx

    I also needed to export the cert from IIS to sign it to the new manifest.

    Hi OptimAdam,

    You can use Manifest Generation and Editing Tool. Important steps for Auto Update:

    - Make sure AccessControlService work first.

    - Edit ClientUserSettings.config of ClickOnce Package to use AccessControlService.

    - Enable application should check for updates (before it starts).

    - Increase ClickOnce minimum required version for the application (Revision part).

    You can refer to my Youtube video at www.youtube.com/watch

    (Auto Update Part is around 19:00).

    You always need to update the manifest and the application if you change something. In this case you change the settings file.
