Authentication Settings

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

Whether MainBossWeb 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 MainBossWeb 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:

• If you intend to accept requests from people outside your local Active Directory, enable Anonymous Authentication
• Disable ASP.NET Impersonation (this is the default)
• Disable the Forms Authentication setting
• Enable Windows Authentication
