 How to Configure 

 This applies both for new and existing Sites 

 

 Start the IIS Manager Application (Server Manager -> Tools ->  Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager ) 

 Open or create your Site The  Physical Path  Setting here is what counts. If you intend to use it as Reverse Proxy, create a empty "dummy" Directoy for this one 

 Select your Directory

 

 If you already have a site, go to  Actions  ->  Basic Settings  and update your Physical Path if necessary 

 

 

 Go to Actions -> Edit Permissions This will open the Windows Directory Permissions Dialog. Here you can set your Permission. For Web Access, the Read Permission is required. Dependening on your Use-Case, other Permissions such as Write and Execute might be necessary
