How to: Configure the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client for ACS
You configure the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client for Access Control Service (ACS) by editing the web.config file. The web.config file is an .xml file that you can edit with a text editor, such as Notepad. By default, the web.config file is located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\71\Web Client\ folder.
Before you begin this procedure, you must perform the steps to configure your deployment for ACS. For more information, see Use ACS to Authenticate Users.
