Notes:
Removing 'OnlyAllowLocalAccess' restriction

By default (to prevent accidental exploitation) non-local requests are not allowed (i.e. only http://127.0.0.1 will work).

To allow such accesses, edit the Hacme Bank's website web.config (in HacmeBank_v2_Website folder) and comment out the HttpModule_onlyAllowLocalAccess line in the  section.

To also access (and 'unprotect') the Webservices, remove the same line from the web.config file that is in the HacmeBank_v2_WS folder

Installing on non-US English systems

The Hacme Bank v2 available from Foundstone/McAfee only works on systems where the regional settings are set to the United States. Although, it at first appears to work, lots of the application interactions and database calls fail with ugly error messages. The easiest fix is to build a dedicated server using US English settings from the ground-up.
