I have a server 2012 box running IIS. I am trying to change the admin password for the OS, but it is breaking permissions/access for IIS. I have since reverted back to the old password and all works. What do I need to change in addition to the OS to make the new password work for IIS sites?
Open IIS
Select Application Pools
right-click on your pool and select Advanced settings...
Edit the Identity setting with your credentials
For mine, I set the Custom Account. I have to update this every time I change my credentials.
Have you tried synchronizing the new passwork in IIS, in the sites thats don't work?
Check site credentials, specially if using a "specific user" (as opposed to pass-through authentication) at:
IIS console-->Click on site-->Click Basic Settings (on the Action panel)-->Connect As
There you can synchronize the password registered in IIS with the current user password, but take note that if this works, then something is wrong with your configuration since the logged on user (the admin as you mentioned) shouldn't be used to access site data/folders. It's way too risky!!
If you're using pass-through authentication, check the configuration of the application pool that the site is using, but I repeat: If changing/synchronicing the admin's passwork solves your problem, then you must have some bad configuration in place.

i having a problem when i tried to use a domain user as a specified user name in basic settings-> connect as. I want to access a shared folder that located in another server.
The web server always says if the username or password isn't correct and always throw 500.19 error when I started to browse the application.

However when I explore the app from IIS, it can be opened. I even tried a remote login to the server using the same username and password and it's just fine.

The server I am using for running the web server is a Workgroup computer and in a DMZ. Is that a reason why IIS can't authecticate domain user?
Sorry for my terrible english here, because i'm in panic situation right now. I hope you can understand what i'm asking about and hope somebody has an answer. Thanks
You're right, if your computer is not joined to the Active Directory domain, you won't be able to authenticate using a Domain account.
Should the site be publicly accessible? If so, you would want to set your authentication to Anonymous and then configure the authentication settings to authenticate either as a built in user (NETWORK SERVICE, AppPoolIdentity) or a local machine user created specifically for the application.
I have a beta web application which I want to password protect. I would like to lock down the whole folder as one does in IIS which then force the username/password popup. I have done this with my previous shared host on IIS7. However now that I have migrated the site to Azure Websites, I cannot find a method to do this in Azure.
All feedback, that I have read, on this seem to say that it is forms authentication only. Is this true, or is there a way to password protect a complete Azure Website?
Thanks,
EDIT:
I do authenticate within the web app, since this is a requirement of the web app, but I want a simple password protection over all of this that was external to the application.
Use HttpAuthModule nuget.
You can install Nuget package with Visual Studio. Right click on the project for the website you want to secure. Click "Manage NuGet packages". In the browse tab in the search box, search for the phrase "HttpAuthModule". Select the resulting module and click install. This should install the package and make some changes to your web.config file.
Open the web.config and then edit the settings, in particular change the "value" for the "credentials" parameter to be a "username:password;" of your choosing. Now run your site and you should be prompted to enter a username and password.
Another option which is now available is to use the new Azure Websites Authentication / Authorization feature. This enables you to quickly and easily add Azure Active Directory login to your entire website without any code changes. It also works with site slots, so you can have a beta version of your site in a staging slot which is protected by a login page, and a production version which is exposed publicly.

I have a server which is part of a domain. When I publish a web application from Visual Studio with a domain user everything is ok. But when I try to publish with a local machine user (not part of a domain) I get ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN. Both users are in Administrators group. I tried specifying user as username, .\username and machinename\username but it's not working. Is there anything else I should do to be able to publish with a local machine user?
I received this error when I published with an incorrect password.
Not the best answer in the world but I post this to point out that an incorrect password does indeed return this exact error though you would never know it when you read the error message.
This error can also be received when deploying ASP.NET Core application with Visual Studio 2015. In order to fix the problem in this case, add the following lines in the .pubxml file:
<ADUsesOwinOrOpenIdConnect>False</ADUsesOwinOrOpenIdConnect>
<AuthType>NTLM</AuthType>
You can't do that, server you aim to publish in to needs an authorized domain account to allow access to your Visual Studio publishing service. Local accounts are specific to your local machine regardless whether they are administrator logins. They are just local admin login not domain admin logins.
Get your administrator to set up a domain user (don't use domain admin accounts this is a security risk) for publishing purposes or use your current domain user account
I have deployed an application on IIS Server and Servlet Exec configured. I need run the application with windows User Credentials rather than Anonymous User. I tries changing the username and password of annonmous user in properties/Security but the application stops responding changing it back to default Anonymous IIS user account works fine??

If it is on iis 6 or greater, there is a place you can create application pools. If you don't have a dedicated application pool for your application yet, create one. While creating you can set the default identity it should work with. You can set it to system defaults or a custom identity you've created...
You should change the identity for the application pool (not the website). So it's best to create a specific application pool for every site which needs specific user credentials.
But this question really belongs on serverfault.com
When I setup IIS6 to develop projects locally I have to enable "Integrated Windows Authentication" under directory security in order for my CSS & Images to show up. (Note: I have double checked that network service has rights to all directories in my web application)
However this often causes my browser to prompt me for windows login username and password when I am running the application.
Is there anyway to get around entering a windows login password all the time ?
(I am using windows xp pro 64bit)
Maybe it is some problem with the kerberos authentication to your web site. Just disable it on your site. from the c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts directory run this command.
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/WebSite/root/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM"
Or change the authentication to anonymous. And make sure that the user in the directory security tab (IUSR_computername) has access to said directories. It is not the application pool user who access files and other resources.
Well it certainly is not as it's supposed to be!
You say you've double checked that Network Service has access to the directories. But with anonymous access, the account that needs access is the IUSR_[machinename] account. The account is specified under the Directory Security tab.
If all else fails, for local development you might as well grant everyone access to the directories.
