To Set Impersonation Options using machine.config

You need administrator access to perform this task.

User impersonation options are set in the .NET Framework's machine.config file. Impersonation options are set as key/value pairs using the add element in the file's MicroFocus.SEE section.

Make a backup copy of machine.config.
The file is in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\Config or %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\version\Config, where version is the .NET Framework version used by Enterprise Server for .NET.

Use the file in Framework when running a 32-bit version of Windows, or the file in Framework64 when running on 64-bit Windows.
Open machine.config for editing.

If the MicroFocus.SEE section is not defined in the file, add a <section> element to the configSections section as follows.

<!-- Added for Micro Focus SEE for .NET -->
<section name="MicroFocus.SEE" 
             type="MicroFocus.SEE.Utils.GlobalConfigurationSection,
             MicroFocus.SEE.Utils,Version=4.0.0.0,
             Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=0412c5e0b2aaa8f0" />

At the end of the file, just before the closing tag, add the MicroFocus.SEE section.
```

<MicroFocus.SEE>
</MicroFocus.SEE>
```
Add your configurations inside the MicroFocus.SEE section as required.
Use the following syntax to add a key.
```
<add key=key to add value=key value> 
```
For example, the following key enables user impersonation of logged on users.
```
    ...
    <add key=" Security.users.impersonateUsers" value="true"/>
    ...
  </MicroFocus.SEE>
```
Save and close the file.

machine.config is processed when a process starts, so changes are picked up by a SEP when its hosting process starts.

For self-hosted SEPs, restart the process to pick up changes.
For WAS-hosted SEPs, use the wasreset.cmd script to restart WAS.
