Changes to the Web.config file

The following changes have been made to the Web.config file of Sitecore CMS 6.5.0 rev. 110818 (Update-1) as compared to the Web.config file of Sitecore CMS 6.5.0 rev. 110602 (Initial release):

  1. Add an attribute to the <site name="login" …/> element in the <sites> section to prevent XAML controls to be rendered in the context of the login site (only add the attribute if it is not already present). This means that the <site name="login" …/> element in a default Sitecore installation should look like this:
    <site name="login" virtualFolder="/sitecore/login" physicalFolder="/sitecore/login" enableAnalytics="false" database="core" domain="sitecore" disableXmlControls="true"/>
  2. Add a hashAlgorithmType="SHA1" attribute to the <membership …> element in the <system.web> section (only add the attribute if it is not already present). In a default Sitecore installation, the membership element should look like this:
    <membership defaultProvider="sitecore" hashAlgorithmType="SHA1">
    This attribute ensures that the same hashing algorithm is used no matter if you use .NET framework 3.5 or 4.0. 
  3. Remove the appliesTo=" v2.0.50727" attribute from the <assemblyBinding> element in the <runtime> section (unless you have specific reasons to keep it). In a default Siecore installation, the element should look like this:
    <runtime>
        <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
          <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0" />
          </dependentAssembly>
          <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions.Design" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0" />
          </dependentAssembly>
        </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
