Have you ever needed to generate a MachineKey to use in your application's configuration file or in machine.config? You may need a MachineKey in several scenarios. One of them is the scenario where you deploy your application in a web farm. One another scenario is to need to encrypt Forms Authentication tickets.

You have some options to generate a MachineKey:

  • You can build the sample application from the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312906

There is one another way which I have learned from one of my customers today. It was over there waiting in IIS user interface but I never gave it a try before (shame on me). You can use IIS 7.5 user interface to generate the MachineKey section and save it in the web.config of your application / root web.config file. Steps are quite easy:
2) If you need to generate and save the MachineKey for all your applications select the server name in the left pane, in that case you will be modifying the root web.config file (which is placed in the .NET framework folder). If your intention is to create MachineKey for a specific web site/application then select the web site / application from the left pane. In that case you will be modifying the web.config file of your application.
3) Double click the Machine Key icon in ASP.NET settings in the middle pane:

4) MachineKey section will be read from your configuration file and be shown in the UI. If you did not configure a specific MachineKey and it is generated automatically you will see the following options:
