# Server parameters

In this topic, you will find some server parameters, which can be added to configure your server more individually.&#x20;

To add one of these you will need to open the Web.config, which can be found by default here: *<mark style="color:blue;">**C:\Programm Files\andagon GmbH\aqua for IIS\Web\Webservice\Web.config**</mark>*&#x20;

In order to add a parameter, you need to find the "\<appSettings>" section in the Web.config file and insert a new line (or edit an existing one)&#x20;

```
<addKey="<yourParameter>" value="<yourValue>" /> 
```

Below you will find a list of available server parameters.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Changing these parameters is at your own risk.&#x20;
