Hello
I have changed my ASP.NET from version 4.0 to 4.6.1 in Visual Studio 2017. Also in Visual Studio 2017, I have enabled SSL through my project's Properties panel.
I have noticed, however, that in my project's Web.config file, it says: - <security requireSsl="false"
Should I now change this to "true"?
Thank you.

Its in the docs:
true if SSL is required to return the forms-authentication cookie to the server; otherwise, false. The default is false.
If you need to change this depends on what exactly you are doing. But if you start testing than you should find out if this settings need to be changed.
Many thanks for your reply, Luuk.
The project is part of Microsoft's Membership Identity and will need to take https and not http, but no important personal details, such as bank details, are required in any form transactions.
I will see how it goes then!
Thanks
Sorry for the delay in replying.
Basically, users register, and a link is sent to their email for email confirmation. The user's details are stored in a SQL database and their password hashed.
The site will allow for students to upload their work to their university lecturer. No money at all is involved.
So, if my understanding is correct, I should opt for 'enabled'?
Thanks again

You should test both options, and choose the one that fits your needs. I am also not an expert in this (unfortunatly)

I have a server with about 50 web applications on it. I would like to
enable ASP.NET Ajax on all of them, but I don't want to spend the time
manually modifying each and every web.config. Can I simply add the
ajax entries to the machine.config instead? And, if so, exactly what
are the entries I will need to add? Thanks for your help!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
