When I try to access an Web site hosted in IIS 7, I receive the HTTP Error
403.8 error message. I was told to change the dominaName attribute to be:
<add domainName="[clientmachine]" allowed="true" />.

However, I am not sure where I can change this attribute. In the
ApplicationHost.config file, I cannot find this attribute. Can anyone shed
some light?

Many thanks!

I believe there is UI to do what you want.

I'm not certain why you are directly tweaking applicationHost.config
file.

One can definitely figure this out.

As David says - you should be able to do this via the GUI.

If you can't, then this goes into the IP Security section.
