Help with web page hosting on IIS?

February 7th, 2010 | by admin |


I have a web page on a server hosting IIS. Every time I enter the webpage from a browser it askes for a username and password. How can I remove this setting?

Thanks

see <authentication mode="" /> in web.config file.

set authentication mode "*"
and also see IIS >
website > properties > document security > edit > check enable anonymous access .

    My first guess would be that you don’t have any .html files in your root directory. I say this, because if there is no hypertext to transfer (http), then it might automatically assume other protocols like FTP.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve had this problem before – you need to check your web.config file for the <authentication mode…> entry and make sure it’s set to "Forms" not "Windows".

    But I’m not 100% sure… Sorry!
