Notes

To open Authorization Manager, click Start, click Run, and then type: azman.msc
To perform this procedure, you must be working in developer mode.
If you are using an authorization store that is stored in Active Directory, use the LDAP name (for example, CN=myStore,CN=Program Data,DN=nwtraders,DN=com). If you are using an XML-based authorization store, use a path and file name that is valid at runtime (for example, C:\AuthStores\MyStore.xml).

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
