InstallAware

Hello,

Sorry if I'm overlooking something obvious (I'm only on my first cup of coffee), but I'm using InstallAware to create an IIS virtual directory and I can't figure out how to set the anonymous access account.

For example, in Windows 2003 Server, there's a setting that allows you to "use the following Windows user account for anonymous access". You can set a username and password here, which is sometimes desirable when using SQL Server Windows integrated security.

How do I do this from within InstallAware?

You can get the IIS anonymous user account using the Get System Information command and the IIS Anonymous User Account capability.

New virtual folders will use this default IIS anonymous user account. If the account used is an IIS metabase property, you can override it using the Set IIS Property command.
