Whether MainBossRemote is a separate web site or an application within another web site, you must set its authentication settings (i.e. how the software determines who is or isn't an authorized user).

In the left-hand panel of the IIS manager, expand Sites and click on the name of the MainBossRemote web site or application.

In the middle panel of the IIS manager, the IIS section has an entry for IIS Authentication. Double-click this entry to open a window where you can specify authentication settings. We recommend the following:

• Enable Anonymous Authentication
• Disable ASP.NET Impersonation (this is the default)
• The Forms Authentication setting can be either enabled or disabled; it doesn't matter to MainBoss
• Enable Windows Authentication
