The AppManager App package provided to you from Akumina has 2 files that need to be customized for your sites.  Unique values that are applicable to your SharePoint Office 365 and Cloud website AppManager must be set.  These files are the web.config file that was just extracted from the zip file, and the “Akumina.InterChange.App.app” file.

Customizing the web.config File

• Navigate to C:\Akumina\*InterChange (in our example we will navigate to C:\Akumina\03_18_2015_04_17_InterChange)
• Double Click or right click on Web.config
• The web.config will open in Visual Studio… (alternatively you can edit this file using notepad)
• Search (Cntrol + F)  for term = SharePointURL
• Below, this section of the web.config will be highlighted.  This is where you will set 3 things

• Set the SharePointURL to the SharePoint Site URL where you will be installing AppManager in my example it will be set to this URL:  https://awemind.sharepoint.com
• Set the Client ID – you will copy and paste the value you have saved in your Notepad file “MyAppManagerInstallNotes.txt” (example similar to: b3824b0d-cffb-48c9-a006-508c7eda60f6)
• Set the Client Secret – you will copy and paste the value you have saved in your Notepad file “MyAppManagerInstallNotes.txt” (example similar to: NH+VK7RxsYC7HIaOQCEANVkkdxebTBxpKBmATnmtDW0=)
• Search for the customHeaders parameter
• Set your SharePoint URL for the value of “Access-Control-Allow-Origin”
• Uncomment the “Access-Control-Allow-Credentials”.  Leave the value as “true”
• To optimize the response time for the front end site pages, add the following line into the customheaders section (this will cache the preflight OPTIONS request calls to AppManager
  • <add name="Access-Control-Max-Age" value="1600" /> (value is in seconds and can be set to your desired duration)

Example of all changes:

• Finally, ensure that the following section of code exists and is set as follows.  This allows for larger file sizes to be handled by IIS for the aadusers.xml file (the users synchronization file with AzureAD)

<system.webServer>

<security>

<requestFiltering>

<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="104857600" />

</requestFiltering>

</security>

</system.webServer>
