Dear All,

In my office is using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0. When I access IIS 6.0 from internet browser I always need to type user name and password. So, I want to access without password protection. I would like to know it is possible or not.

re: Clear password protection in IIS 6.0


You have to look at how the website is configured that you are accessing. There is a section in the web.config file (if it's an ASP.NET application) that indicates who's allowed to access the site and who is not.

If you want the site to be accessed by the Anonymous Internet User then simply set the <authentication mode="Windows" /> in the web.config file and remove anything that denies everyone who's not authenticated ("?").
