Restarting IIS
When you make changes to the properties used by the CS Authentication resource, you must stop and then restart Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0. Because CS Authentication is a global resource, all sites using it must be unloaded from memory.
You must restart IIS when you perform any of the following tasks in the CS Authentication resource:
Configure CS Authentication resource properties
Enable cookie sharing across domains/applications
Enable AuthFilter
Disable AuthFilter
Note
- Do not use the IISReset command to restart IIS. Although IISReset will stop and then restart IIS, under certain conditions it does not stop and then start Inetinfo.exe (W3SVC service). For example, if the W3SVC service has been configured for manual start instead of automatic, it will not be restarted.
To reset IIS
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type net stop iisadmin.
At the prompt, "Do you want to continue this operation?" type Y.
The Internet Information Services are stopped.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type net start w3svc.
The Internet Information Services are started.
