Hello,

I am installing 10 copies of my ASP.NET application on one VM server (one IIS enabled). The same application can work in anonymous mode (for some sites) and in authenticated mode (for others). So, I need to set up a couple of sites to have Windows Authentication enabled and Anonymous Authentication disabled. I am looking at one of your very helpful articles where you show how to check Basic Authentication and check Windows Authentication (in the Security section).

My question is, if I set it up in the IIS, will it screw up those cases where the application/site has to run in the anonymous mode? Can I do the Basic Authentication and Windows Authentication in the web.config? So that it will effect just one site?

TIA

Each site has its own set of configuration settings.

As long as each site is not hierarchically below another and doesn't inherit parent site settings (ie. folders below a root site folder for virtuals) each site/virtual is completely independent of another. And if it is you can clear settings for each setting before applying new ones.

Thank you, Rick.

It works.
