Parameters
Name |
Definition |
---|---|
AllowLocation |
A case-sensitive string variable that sets the allowLocation attribute for the configuration section. The possible attribute values are "true" or "false". The default is "true". ![]()
This parameter is a string, not a boolean.
|
Return Value
This method does not return a value.
Remarks
The allowLocation attribute specifies whether a configuration section can appear inside a pair of location tags.
Because SetAllowLocation is a static method, you should call it by getting a class object, as in the following example.
' Correct syntax:
Set oAnonAuth = oWebAdmin.Get("AnonymousAuthenticationSection")
oAnonAuth.SetAllowLocation "false"
The following syntax fails because it tries to call SetAllowLocation on a concrete instance of the Site class. The call to the method will cause an "SWbemObjectEx: Not found" error.
' Incorrect syntax:
Set oSite = oWebAdmin.Get("Site.Name='Default Web Site'")
oSite.GetSection "AnonymousAuthenticationSection", oAnonAuth
oAnonAuth.SetAllowLocation "false"
Example
The following example sets the allowLocation attribute for the Anonymous authentication configuration section.
' Get the WebAdministration namespace.
Set oWebAdmin = GetObject( _
"winmgmts:root\WebAdministration")
' Get the AnonymousAuthenticationSection.
Set oAnonAuth = oWebAdmin.Get( _
"AnonymousAuthenticationSection")
' Set the allowLocation attribute.
oAnonAuth.GetAllowLocation "false"
