You can configure many other items in the web.config. However this question is not direct enough to provide an answer.

Web.Config is not limited to any application. Web.config can work verymuch in same way for any applications. Along with the mentioned details we can include a bunch of sections into Web.Config. some of them includes

1) If you are using any services, then service end points you can define in web.config.

2) Error/Exception handling configuraton you can define.

3) if you will use Unity, you can define Register types in config.

4) Any IIS configuratons, can overridden in web.config.

5) Any IIS Error page setup.
