Using Windows Authentication under IIS7 (ASP.NET)

Posted by Jamsi in ASP.NET, Windows Vista on May 23rd, 2007 | one response

Okay so I took me a few hours but I finally figured out how to turn on Windows Authentication under IIS7. For some reason, it’s turned off by default and in IIS7 under authentication you’ll only see anonymous.

I have a ASP.NET 1.1 application that requires Windows Authentication and this was the error I was receiving.

“You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied”

  1. Whip open the control panel, and select programs and features
  2. On the left select “Turn Windows Features on or off”
  3. Drill down to “Internet Information Services” – “World Wide Web” services” – “Security” – “Windows Authentication”
  4. Tick “Windows Authentication”

My gosh, hidden away eh?
I love Windows Vista.
