Windows Authentication for Websites

Windows Authentication on IIS works using the Physical Path' Permissions, configured
in the Basic Settings of the Site.

How to Configure

This applies both for new and existing Sites

1. Start the IIS Manager Application (Server Manager -> Tools -> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager)
2. 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
3. Select your Directory
   • If you already have a site, go to Actions -> Basic Settings and update your Physical Path if necessary
4. 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
