I want to allow anonymous access to my root directory. In previous versions (pre Win2008/IIS7) I could swear I could grant that in Permissions Manager. How do I do that now? Anonymous does not appear in the dropbox to select! Thanks for any help.
In the Win2008 IIS7 servers you have to use IIS Manager to edit those. http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a...8iis-7-using-microsoft.aspx?KBSearchID=133282 Once you connect, I believe you select the folder from the left hand side, and on the right hand side click on "authentication", where you can disable anonymous users to access it.
Oops - I thought it was working, but it still challenges me for a login. My settings are: Anonymous Authentication: Disabled Basic Authentication: Enabled Forms Authentication: Enabled ASP.net Impersonation: Disabled . Anyone please tell me what I'm going wrong?! Thanks!
what type of challenge are you seeing? Does it prompt you with a pop up for your to type in your username/pwd? Or does it redirect you to a login page? pls also provide the url.
Hey Bruce: I get a Windows login screen, prompting for username/password. See it at www.temss-genpt.com. Thanks! I'm new to IIS 7, so I'm sure it's something stupid I'm doing
OK.. i am a little confused. Do you want anyone be able to browse to your site? If so, you need to enable "Anonymous Authentication". You said you set it to disabled.
Sorry to bother you - it's working now. I had it enabled earlier, I thought, and it didn't work either way (disabled/enabled). Not sure why not, but thanks for all the help.
