Password Synchronization and Local User Accounts Information (183722)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q183722 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SUMMARY
Although Internet Service Manager allows you to enable password
synchronization for a non-local anonymous user account, this is not a
supported configuration, and may cause all access to your Web or FTP
server to be denied. Password synchronization should only be used with
anonymous user accounts defined on the local computer. If your Web site
relies on the anonymous user being able to access network resources, you
cannot use the anonymous authentication password synchronization feature
and you must specify a valid password for the anonymous user.
