Objective
The stack trace in error messages can help you or K2 Support to determine where the error is coming from. However, your company may have a security requirement that requires you to hide the stack trace from your users. This KB will provide you with instructions on how to hide your stack trace.Before You Begin
Create a backup of [Program Files]K2K2 SmartForms Runtimeweb.config.
If you want to hide the stack trace in Designer as well, then create a backup of [Program Files]K2K2 SmartForms Designerweb.config as well.
How-to Steps
- On the server that is hosting SmartForms, go to [Program Files]K2K2 SmartForms Runtime
- Edit web.config with a text editor
- Search for "ExtendedExceptionDetail"
- Change the value from "True" to "False". It should look like this when done:
<add name="ExtendedExceptionDetail" value="False" /> - Save the changes
- If you want to hide the stack trace for Designer as well, then you need to make the same changes to the web.config in [Program Files]K2K2 SmartForms Designer
- Perform IISRESET to apply the changes.
