For Sharepoint Central Admin to work I need to enable Basic Authentication in IIS 6.0
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/forums/p/2287/2881.aspx
For some reason I am not able to find it in IIS 6.0 on my machine.
I See only Anonymous authentication, ASP.net Impersonation, Forms Authentication.
Any thoughts?
You may not have installed all the authentication components for IIS.
Go to add remove programs -> Add remove windows features
there under IIS i will recommend you to check all the options and install a fully blown iis server, however if you can understand what each element means, you can check the components which will add all the authentication features for iis.
You need to be admin on your machine to change this setting. If you are, follow these instructions and you should be fine.

I have windows server 2008 with IIS 7.
There I have some Web Based application installed.
I want to integrate that server with customer's Active Directory Server in order to users be able to access the application with their domain accounts.
I know this is beginner question, but sorry I am not an expert and didn't do anything with LDAP before.
I read here instructions for some different authentication protocols https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733010%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
But as I understood I should use Integrated Windows Authentication correct?
But when I open Authentication within the IIS sites (WebClient) I see only options:
Anynomymous
Basic
ASP.NET
Digest
Forms
Windows
Which option should I choose and where I populate LDAP path and the user who will have privileges to access the LDAP?
Please take into consideration that I am really beginner for this and don't have any help for this configuration.
Thank you in advance
I'm developing some web site that run on IIS 7 and can connect to SQL server via php. The problem is I think its not safe because everyone that know my public IP address can freely access my site (the site is not for public, but I need it to be accessible to some people). How can I add security to this website of mine?
I have search for some type of security like authentication in IIS, but I don't know what should be used. Can I just add id and password like when we try to open page for configure router (192.168.0.1) .
You can easily disable anonymous authentication and enable basic authentication in IIS 7 using IIS manager.
Here is a Technet link and an SO post with details:
Is it a standalone server or do you run the IIS server on a desktop?
If your the only one who should access your site you could also use Intergrated windows authentication (IWA). IWA is a feature of the IIS Server, so if you wan't to use is you should enable it first.
I'm running IIS 7.0 on a Windows 2008 R1 Server and want to setup IIS Manager Users. Due to some fact, every last try to access the site is rejected (HTTP Unauthorized).
The following additional IIS components are installed:
Security\Basic Authentification
Security\URL Authorisation
Management Tools\IIS Management Console
Management Tools\Management Service
Then I configured the Management Service to use Windows or IIS-Manager-User Credentials.
I also added some IIS-Manager-Users and activated them on my Website.
On the Authentification Settings Pane, I disabled anonymous access and enabled basic authentification.
As a result, when browsing the website, a password is now required. The thing is, I can access the page with Windows Credentials, but not with the IIS Manager User Credentials. In this case the result is always HTTP 401 - Unauthorized.
What am I missing?
IIS Manager Users are meant for administration of IIS (aka management of the sites/apps) and not for access the server at runtime (normal browsing of content).
Having said that, you can make that work if your scenario is to use the same users for potentially administration (like using WMSVC) and runtime and I wrote a blog about it on 2008 on how to set it up:

I have a remote Windows 2012 server running IIS 8 from which I am hosting a web application. My local development box is running Visual Studio 2012. Currently I am publishing my app as a web deployment package (.zip), RDP'ing to the production server, copy + pasting to a folder and deploying the application from within IIS. My question is, what changes do I need to make to deploy directly to IIS from Visual Studio 2012 using the web deploy option?
I have tried to follow this guide but it refers to a service URL which I must obtain from my hosting company. I don't have a hosting company, my server is co-located.
I am presented with the following options:
Is the username and password the one I use for the RDP account? I already have Web Deploy 3.0 installed on IIS do I need to enable further settings?
OK I found the solution but it took me a whole day to get it working! Basically the steps are as follows. This is very sketchy but see the detailed guides below which helped me.
Enable the IIS Web Management role feature.
Install Web Deploy 3.0 (or higher). Make sure to customise the install to include the handlers (See notes below). If you're not presented with this option go to add/remove programs, find webdeploy, right click and select "change" option.
In IIS click on the server node and find the "Management Service" icon. Enable remote access and configure a dedicated IIS User for remote deployment (These will be the credentials that will go in the user name and password boxes).
At the site level in IIS assign this user to manage the website.
Make sure port 8172 is open on the web server (you can check this port here).
Try reconnecting from Visual Studio. There was some trial and error here for me but the error messages do link to a MS guide for decoding :)
Even after connecting successfully I had to wrangle with permissions, so my IIS user had sufficient privileges to create the app pool, directories and general file management jobs.
The following links really helped!
Configuring the handler on the web server:
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/configure-the-web-deployment-handler
Connecting via Visual Studio:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465337(v=vs.110).aspx
NOTES:
To ensure the handler is running, login into your IIS server and point your browser to the following URL.
https://<servername>:8172/MsDeploy.axd
F12 to open up the dev tools to see the HTTP response. Also MsDeploy also creates IIS logs in inetpub/logs which should give you some clue if you're having connectivity problems.
I had the same problem and this post was very useful to help me solve the issue. I had anyhow serious troubles while trying to install Web Deploy on my Windows Server 2012. The installation of Web Deploy 3.0 was giving me several errors and it couldn't be completed.
I tried to solve the problem installing "Microsoft Web Platform Installer 5.0" from http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx but it didn't solve it.
I thought it was due to Firewall Settings, Authorizations issues, Users without permissions or something like that. Finally I found out it wasn't due to any of the mentioned reasons.
I found the most simple solution and I hope it will help other users too: it was enough to download Web Deploy 3.5 installation directly from Microsoft Website:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39277
This may sound banal but it solved it. I was able to install "Web Management Service" but not the second needed IIS service "Web Deployment Agent Service".
I am on vista home premium (32 bit) and I need to enable windows authentication for IIS because the Sitefinity sample site returns a 401. However, in add windows features, there is no sign of windows authentication despite having expanded all the treeviews.
How can I enable windows auth?
Thanks
Windows authentication is a feature that's only available in upper editions such as Business/Ultimate as Tchami pointed out.
This page should answer your question. Also, to install IIS on Vista Home Premium look here
But in short:
Open IIS Manager and navigate to the level you want to manage.
In Features View, double-click Authentication.
On the Authentication page, select Windows Authentication.
In the Actions pane, click Enable to use Windows authentication.
