The "Enable Access Control" option is not available after you install Proxy Server (171121)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0
- Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q171121 SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Proxy Server, the Enable Access Control option
in Microsoft Internet Service Manager, Web Proxy Service Properties,
Permissions may not be available.
CAUSE
The Enable Access Control option for the Web Proxy Service Properties is
restricted because Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is
configured
to use Anonymous as the only authentication method.WORKAROUNDTo work around this issue, use NTLM authentication or Basic authentication, also known as clear text authentication. Use these authentication methods if you want to restrict access
to the proxy server. If you want all clients to have access to the proxy
server, you must use Anonymous authentication. To help increase security for an intranet, use Basic authentication together with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Note Because Basic authentication together with SSL uses more server processing resources than clear text authentication, server performance may be reduced.
For more information about how to configure IIS to use different authentication methods, see the IIS online product documentation that is installed when you install IIS.
