Configure Application Mappings
In the Application Configuration Dialog the list of configured mappings can be seen. One point that can be made here is to highlight the entries for .idq and .ida and remove these. The reason being this mapping is often the target of automated script cracking attacks and if the reference is removed the target (idq.dll) cannot be executed.
To check the mapping and target executable highlight the entry and click the "Edit..." button.
To check the mapping and target executable highlight the entry and click the "Edit..." button.
If a new mapping is needed, The way to find the correct settings for the new entry is to highlight an existing entry for the same function and note down the required executable and verbs. Verbs in this context, are the HTTP requests that the executable should send a response for.
Here the .shtm entry has been selected and as can be seen, pages using this extensions are to be mapped through ssinc.dll. This is the executable for handling Server Side Includes (SSI).

To add the new mapping click the "Add" button, then in the dialog box fill in the path and filename for the executable, the browse button can also be used to locate the required .exe or .dll file.
The extension (including the ".") should be typed into the box and the required verbs added. In most cases the required verbs will be limited to "GET" and "POST" and it should be noted that verbs must be in uppercase and seperated by commas "," .

Here the new mapping is set for .htm files to be parsed as server side includes and therefore the usual commands for SSI will be handled in exactly the same way as .shtm or .shtml will be.
Should .htm files be required to use ASP code the executable referenced should be "C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll" assuming a default installation of IIS 5.
Clicking the Ok button will add this setting to the mappings and return you back to the parent dialog box where clicking the Apply button will set the changes.

Global Setting Only
If the mapping is being set for the server configuration and any virtual website (child node) has existing custom mappings that will be changed by applying this global setting, a confirmation dialog will be shown allowing these nodes to be excluded from the changes
