I'm going through the sep for setting up the demo of Web Connect and when adding IIS to my Windows 10 computer I noticed that the Security feature for the Windows Authentication is not present to select. Any thoughts on this being an issue?

Ah found answer at: https://www.west-wind.com/wconnect/weblog/ShowEntry.blog?id=939&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RickStrahlsFoxproAndWebConnectionWebLog+%28Rick+Strahl%27s+FoxPro+and+Web+Connection+Web+Log%29&id=939&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+RickStrahlsFoxproAndWebConnectionWebLog+%28Rick+Strahl%27s+FoxPro+and+Web+Connection+Web+Log%29

Thanks for the posting Rick.

Yes on Windows 10 Home, a number of IIS features are not avalailable including Windows Authentication.

Web Connection also works with Basic Authentication which I believe does work on Windows Home editions. One of the two is required in order to authenticate against the admin interfaces. If that doesn't work you can turn the Admin Authentication off on the local dev machine by setting:

<add key="AdminAccount" value="" />

in your web.config Web Connection section.

Make sure that your deployed application does have a AdminAccount set - never ship an application without this key set (it's set to ANY by default which means any authenticated user can login).

<add key="AdminAccount" value="ANY" />
