Title
HTTP error with eCode 500
Product
PASSPORT WEB TO HOST
Emulation Types

Issue
When trying to launch a PASSPORT WEB TO HOST session, I am getting an
"HTTP eCode=500" error message.
Solution
This error will occur when the .NET 2.0 framework is installed prior
to installation if IIS. You will need to register .NET with IIS using
the following instructions:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open text box, type cmd, and then press
ENTER.
At the command prompt, type the following, and
then press ENTER:
"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_regiis.exe"
-i
In this path, version represents the version number of the .NET Framework
that you installed on your server. You must replace this placeholder with
the actual version number when you type the command.
You may also need to enable ASP.NET in IIS using the following instructions:
Open the IIS Manager
Select "Web Service Extensions"
In the right-hand pane, right-click on ASP.NET
v2.0 and select "Allow"
An few additional things you may need to look for:
If your server has multiple .NET framework versions
installed, the pec and pecadmin (or comparable) virtual directories need
to be pointing to ASP.NET v 2.0 or higher. This
is done from the virtual directories properties.
If you have multiple .NET framework versions running
on the same IIS server. You
have to create a separate application pool for PASSPORT. See links for

When creating an application pool, you may have to (not always) change
the identify authority to LocalSystem:
