WebDav server iis unable to configure some of the webdav settings - iis

I have setup a WebDav Virtual directory on local network with
Anonymous authentication.
Virtual Directory : All Permissions granted to AppPool
Binding added on ip port 80(http://192.168.0.8/localSystemDir/). Able to access the directory over local network.
Using Windows 10 with IIS 10.0.18362
Problem: I'm unable to configure some of the behaviors(grayed out) under Authoring rule-> WebDav Settings.
I need to configure Property behavior but it is not configurable for me. I need these for connecting to WebDav via REST API
Window features enabled :
P.S: I'm new to IIS and WebDav and might me missing something obvious!
Thanks

As you explained i reproduce your issue(actually this is not an issue it is default behavior) at my side and found we can not apply some web dev setting to the application or virtual directory. you need to apply the setting at the site level and it will inherit to the sub-application or virtual directory.
the only thing you can do is at virtual directory is apply the authorization rule other than the web dev setting will inherit from the site level.
if you want to do some setting you could use configuration editor:

How to secure config file while hosting a web service on a public domain

I currently have a web service which I would like to host publicly but my company policy is against exposing the web.config file outside of our company firewall. Is there a way where I can host my web service on a public server securely?
Thanks to how IIS works, your web.config file won't be accessible from outside your application. You won't be able to get to it by just browsing directly to it unless you manually allow that action such as enabling directory browsing etc.
The web.config file is more an IIS config than anything else, as it merely configured the IIS environment to run the application as you intend it to.
You have nothing to worry about

Issue in accesing a website hosting on weblogic server through IIS

We are facing issue while configuring IIS setup for weblogic servers.
Following are the environment details:
IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 standard 64x, wls_plugin_12.2.1.2.0 for weblogic server.
We have done the following steps:
Created a new web site on IIS.
Enabling the authentication settings.
Enabling the Directory browsing.
Added the script mapping in Handler mapping and set the path of iisproxy.dll as executor.
ISAPI filter setting for the iisproxy.dll
We are able to view the directory structure while accessing the IP and Port, but the request is not redirecting to the weblogic ip and port what we have configured in iisproxy.ini.
Is there any web.config or handler settings required to process the request?
The issue is that we are using wls-Plugin12.2.1.2.0 whose iisproxy.dll is not working in IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 server. After using the lower version of the plugin, able to access the web logic instance through proxy the IIS.
After that we are able to view the login page of web logic instance but not able to login to the application as it through s "404 Not found error". For this we have to change the handler mapping settings --> Request restrictions --> Mapping --> uncheck the invoke handle, restart the iis application and try browsing again. You will be able to login to web logic applications.

IIS authentication error

I'm trying to simply run a local website which has sime basic HTML files using IIS.
Through the IIS Manager I have created a new website and have set the physical path to the directory with the HTML files.
However when I input the physical path I get the following warning:
The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a
built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS
Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make
sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the
physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the
application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify
that \$ has Read access to the physical path.
Then test these settings again.
Now, when I navigate to the site through localhost I get the following Unauthorized error:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of
the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for
this resource on the Web server.
What's going on here? When I right click my folder I seem to have given access to everyone. I haven't made any specific IIS changes so what could be the issue here?
EDIT:
MAN I cannot believe this. My case is so simple (I just wanna display some HTML files on localhost) which should require ZERO configuration at all. Yet IIS fails to meet the demand.
EDIT: I think everyone should have permission to my folder. Here's a picture of the permissions screen for the folder:
Working with a set of server protocols is different than adding files to a share. In this case, you're going to want to open IIS and navigate to the website you added it as.
There, you'll see a variety of icons, some under the heading of ASP.NET, some under IIS. The first heading you'll see under IIS is Authentication. That's the one you want. If this is strictly internal/for learning, go ahead and enable Anonymous Authentication. It's not safe, but it'll get you in the right place to start googling around.

Allow remote connection in IIS website

I developed a web app, published it to the File System and try to setup the IIS to make it available to a Virtual Machine with XP and a IE8.
Everything is fine in my computer, I can see the website, but from the VM I can't and it's because the setting "Enable remote connections" in the management tab in the Site in the IIS is not checked.
The problem is that option (view image)Manage does not appear under my Site in the IIS.
I already added all the features related with this but nothing works.
It is a asp.net application.
Any guesses?
Thanks
Solved it,
The Network Address Translation option they give in the setting will work.
Just need to access the address that both machines are using for the bridge, so you will have to go to look at the network configuration

401.1 Error when accessing virtual directory pointing to network share

IIS5 is running on SERVER1.
One of the virtual directories in IIS, myfiles, is pointing to "A shared location on another computer", //SERVER2/myfilesshare
When I try to access the page:
http://SERVER1/myfiles
... I get the error:
You are not authorized to view this page
HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed
Internet Information Services
I have triple-checked the "Connect As..." settings in IIS. The credentials I'm using to access the share are correct-- they work when connect to the share in Windows Explorer, but not through the IIS virtual directory.
I've tried granting full permission to Everyone on the folder in SERVER2, but no luck.
Any thoughts?
This was how I solved my problem, might help you.
By default, IIS uses local user called IUSR for virtual directories when using anonymous authentication. It does not use application identity, which should be obvious, if you use procmon.
How can you force it to use application identity?
Easy, under IIS manager:
1) go to Authentication
2) Edit "Anonymous authentication"
3) Select "Application pool identity"
4) Restart IIS & it should work.
The same accomplished with PS: Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.WebServer/security/authentication/AnonymousAuthentication -name username -value ""
This link contains the pros/cons: http://blogs.technet.com/b/tristank/archive/2011/12/22/iusr-vs-application-pool-identity-why-use-either.aspx
Permission issues can be tricky. Try running filemon on the 'other computer' It can be downloaded over here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896642.aspx
(it's not a big application just a tiny lightweight tool)
After you've started filemon, stop the monitor process (I believe it's turned on by default when you start the application), clear the logged data, create a filter for the folder you have trouble getting access to. Start the monitor process. Request your webpage. Stop the monitor process and look for "access denied" messages in filemon. When found, filemon will also mention the name of the actual user which is trying to get access. This might help you to get to a solution.
Btw when using Windows Server 2008 you will need processmon instead: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
Imagine a scenario where for whatever reason you want to have your IIS Server access a Share on a File server and they are not on the same domain.
If you can follow and get this to work for you (I have done it Win2008-R1 32-bit File Server and Win2008-R2 64-bit with IIS 7), then you should be in good shape for any scenario.
Same name local account on both servers with same password
On IIS, use aspnet_regiis -ga MyAccount to give local account access to IIS guts
Now use that as the Application Pool Identity of the Website
Using Local Security Policy (Admin Tools) enable trust for delegation for local account
Restart IIS server
On File Server, use Local Security Policy to enable access from network for local account
Create Share granting desired permissions to local account (also Security tab permissions as needed)
Open up File & Print Sharing ports on both (as restrictive as possible) to point where it works for you when you are using Windows Explorer between the two
Back to IIS, create Virtual Directory using UNC path to Shared folder from File Server
Just use Pass-through authentication (which would use your local account)
You can tell Anonymous Authentication setting of the Virtual Directory to use Application Pool Identity as well
Use something that will test/verify. The key really is trust for delegation using a Service Account (domain or otherwise), and having IIS use the account you want it to use instead of Local Server or Network Service.
This took me all day to figure out. Various threads in StackOverflow and other Internet sources helped point me to various resources me but didn't find my exact answer anywhere. Hopefully next person stuck with this problem will get a speed boost on the path to resolving with my description of what worked for me.
try enabling windows authentication on the virtual directory security tab (in IIS).
