Web Client and Web.Config settings

AdrianAkers

Has anyone actually got the "Link" settings in the web.config to work recently? We have the following in the web.config.

I have set mine as below for testing.

When I go to the login page I only see the Privacy link in Dynamics NAV Web Client and none of the others. The Privacy one does link to mibuso so I know this config is being referred to somehow "under the hood"

<add key="FeedbackLink" value="http://forum.mibuso.com&quot; />
<add key="CommunityLink" value="http://forum.mibuso.com&quot; />
<add key="PrivacyLink" value="http://forum.mibuso.com&quot; />
<add key="LegalLink" value="http://forum.mibuso.com&quot; />

Feedback, Community and Legal never appear.

The documentation on MSDN also mentions a ForgotPasswordLink which I do not see in the Web.config.

I have added it as per the below but still no joy with getting this to appear at all on the sign in page.

<add key="ForgotPasswordLink" value="http://www.bbc.co.uk&quot; />

Anyone else have experience with this, as it seems quite simple but does not seem to work. I am on NAV 2017 latest CU.

Thanks in advance,

Ade

Why semicolon at the end of the link? I'd thought it would invalidate the XML?

Think this is happened in copying here on the thread. As I say above, privacy link works fine...

All 4 settings seem to overwrite the links under the help button in Web Client:



When left unconfigured/empty the links in help menu point to some built-in defaults:
FeedbackLink : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287090
CommunityLink : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=287089
LegalLink / PrivacyLink : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=724017

So they do work - just not on the Sign In page.

This is what I feared. What about the ForgotPasswordLink that is mentioned in the documentation though? Can’t ever seem to get that to work...... That should be on the Sign In Page.

Tried the ForgotPasswordLink (NAV2017 RTM in IE and Chrome) but same here - doesn't work...
