AnonymousPasswordSync

  • Artykuł

The AnonymousPasswordSync property indicates whether IIS should handle the user password for anonymous users attempting to access resources. The following list details the behavior of this property:

  • If AnonymousPasswordSync is set to false, the administrator must manually set the AnonymousUserPass property to the anonymous user password; otherwise anonymous access will not function properly.

  • If AnonymousPasswordSync is set to true, the anonymous user password is set by IIS.

  • If AnonymousPasswordSync is set to true and the value of the metabase property AllowAnonymous is set to false, no users will be permitted to log on to the FTP server.

  • For anonymous password synchronization to work when the domain controller for the IIS server is running Microsoft ? Windows ? 2000, you must have sub-authentication enabled. For more information, see the "Sub-Authentication" section of Digest Authentication in the Help that comes with IIS Manager.

Setting AnonymousPasswordSync on a server running IIS 6.0 has no effect unless you run your application under the System identity and enable sub-authentication. However, it is strongly recommended that you never run an application under the System identity because of the risk it poses to security. If your application contains a buffer-overrun, malicious users can do anything they want under the guise of the System identity. Also, sub-authentication is not enabled by default on a new installation of IIS 6.0. This new default behavior of IIS 6.0 might break old applications that use Anonymous authentication.
