I have the following scenario:
I have Web Application hosted on IIS and I am in domain a.b.com. The IIS is configured to authenticate the users with windows authentication and everyone that in the domain a.b.com can enter the site.
But there are users that in another domain lets call it c.d.com and they can't enter the site with their windows credentials because the IIS check against a.b.com...
How can I configure IIS to check for windows user in c.d.com?
Try below process.
Go to (IIS) Manager.
Right Click on Web-Application.
Select Edit Permission option.
Select Security tab.
Click on Edit... button.
Click on Add... button.
Write your new user domain name
Click OK
select newly added User name from Group or user names:
tick on Allow
Click OK
-It should work
You need to set the identity of the application pool of that website:
Open IIS
Under "Application Pools" right click on your website's pool, choose "Advanced Settings..."
Edit "Identity" field
set "Custom account" credentials
Recycle just in case
You application is now using the user you've configured.

Hello I have a website hosted on remote desktop. ("mywebsite.com")
I want to host another web app with domain "app.mywebsite.com". I created a website in IIS but its not working. What's the configuration setting I need to do make this working ?
(I use IIS7) first app(mywebsite.com) is hosted before. I downt know anything about.
I just created an app and want to host it in same remote desktop with "app.mywebsite.com" alias.
there is an warrning seem on basic settings > Test settings pane
Error message is : "The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again."
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for help
You'll need to add a binding:
Open IIS Manager.
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and then click to select the site for which you want to add a binding.
In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
In the Add Site Binding dialog box, add the binding information and then click OK.
We have recently upgraded to IIS7 as a core web server and I need an overview in terms of the permissions. Previously, when needing to write to the file system I would have give the AppPool user (Network Service) access to the directory or file.
In IIS7 I see, as default, the AppPool user is set to ApplicationPoolIdentity. So when I check the task-manager, I see that a user account called WebSite.example is running the IIS Process ('Website.example' being the name of the website in IIS)
However this user account doesn't exist if I try to use that to give permissions. So, how do I determine which user to give the permissions too?
See below for the problem in screen shot. Our website (www.silverchip.co.uk) runs on the username SilverChip.co.uk. However when I add permissions, this user doesn't exist!
See AppPool Image:
ApplicationPoolIdentity is actually the best practice to use in IIS7+. It is a dynamically created, unprivileged account. To add file system security for a particular application pool see IIS.net's "Application Pool Identities". The quick version:
If the application pool is named "DefaultAppPool" (just replace this text below if it is named differently)
Open Windows Explorer
Select a file or directory.
Right click the file and select "Properties"
Select the "Security" tab
Click the "Edit" and then "Add" button
Click the "Locations" button and make sure you select the local machine. (Not the Windows domain if the server belongs to one.)
Enter "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool" in the "Enter the object names to select:" text box. (Don't forget to change "DefaultAppPool" here to whatever you named your application pool.)
Click the "Check Names" button and click "OK".
Remember to use the server's local name, not the domain name, when resolving the name
IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool
(just a reminder because this tripped me up for a bit):
Giving access to the IIS AppPool\YourAppPoolName user may be not enough with IIS default configurations.
In my case, I still had the error HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized after adding the AppPool user and it was fixed only after adding permissions to the IUSR user.
This is necessary because, by default, Anonymous access is done using the IUSR. You can set another specific user, the Application Pool or continue using the IUSR, but don't forget to set the appropriate permissions.
Credits to this answer: HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized
On Windows Server 2008(r2) you can't assign an application pool identity to a folder through Properties->Security. You can do it through an admin command prompt using the following though:
icacls "c:\yourdirectory" /t /grant "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool":(R)
Part A: Configuring your Application Pool
Suppose the Application Pool is named 'MyPool'
Go to 'Advanced Settings' of the Application Pool from the IIS Manager
Scroll down to 'Identity'. Trying to edit the value will bring up a dialog box. Select 'Built-In account' and under it, select 'ApplicationPoolIdentity'.
A few lines below 'Identity', you should find 'Load User Profile'. This value should be set to 'True'.
Part B: Configuring your website
Website Name: SiteName (just an example)
Physical Path: C:\Whatever (just an example)
Connect as... : Application User (pass-through authentication)
(The above settings can be found in 'Basic Settings' of the site in the IIS Manager)
After configuring the basic settings, look for the 'Authentication' configuration under 'IIS' in the main console of the site. Open it. You should see an option for 'Anonymous Authentication'. Make sure it is enabled. Then right click and 'Edit...' it. Select 'Application Pool Identity'.
Part C: Configuring your folder
The folder in question is C:\Whatever
Go to Properties - Sharing - Advanced Sharing - Permissions, and tick 'Share this folder'
In the same dialog box, you will find a button 'Permissions'. Click it.
A new dialog box will open. Click 'Add'.
A new dialog box 'Select Users or Groups' will open. Under 'From this location' make sure the name is the same as your local host computer. Then, under 'Enter the object names', type 'IIS AppPool\MyPool' and click 'Check Names' and then 'Ok'
Give full sharing permissions for 'MyPool' user. Apply it and close the folder properties
Open folder properties again. This time, go to Security - Advanced - Permission, and click Add. There will be an option 'Select a Principal' at the top, or some other option to choose a user. Click it.
The 'Select Users or Groups' dialog box will open again. Repeat step 4.
Give all or as many permissions you need to the 'MyPool' user.
Check 'Replace all child object permissions..." and Apply and close.
You should now be able to use the browse the website

Here is how to implement this for the PowerShell folks
$IncommingPath = "F:\WebContent"
$Acl = Get-Acl $IncommingPath
$Ar = New-Object system.security.accesscontrol.filesystemaccessrule("IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool","FullControl","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$Acl.SetAccessRule($Ar)
Set-Acl $IncommingPath $Acl
Just to add to the confusion, the (Windows Explorer) Effective Permissions dialog doesn't work for these logins.
I have a site "Umbo4" using pass-through authentication, and looked at the user's Effective Permissions in the site root folder.
The Check Names test resolved the name "IIS AppPool\Umbo4", but the Effective Permissions shows that the user had no permissions at all on the folder (all checkboxes unchecked).
I then excluded this user from the folder explicitly, using the Explorer Security tab.
This resulted in the site failing with a HTTP 500.19 error, as expected. The Effective Permissions however looked exactly as before.
I fixed all my asp.net problems simply by creating a new user called IUSER with a password and added it the Network Service and User Groups. Then create all your virtual sites and applications set authentication to IUSER with its password.. set high level file access to include IUSER and BAM it fixed at least 3-4 issues including this one..

I am using windows authentication without impersonation on my company's intranet website with IIS7.
Under IIS7, what account is used to access the folder which contains my web app using these settings?
Would it be IIS_IUSRS? Or NETWORK SERVICE? Or another I don't know about?
In IIS 7 (not IIS 7.5), sites access files and folders based on the account set on the application pool for the site. By default, in IIS7, this account is NETWORK SERVICE.
Specify an Identity for an Application Pool (IIS 7)
In IIS 7.5 (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7), the application pools run under the ApplicationPoolIdentity which is created when the application pool starts. If you want to set ACLS for this account, you need to choose IIS AppPool\<yourpoolname> instead of NT Authority\Network Service.
http://forums.iis.net/t/1187650.aspx has the answer. Setting the iis authentication to appliction pool identity will resolve this.
In IIS Authentication, Anonymous Authentication was set to "Specific User". When I changed it to Application Pool, I can access the site.
To set, click on your website in IIS and double-click "Authentication". Right-click on "Anonymous Authentication" and click "Edit..." option. Switch from "Specific User" to "Application pool identity". Now you should be able to set file and folder permissions using the IIS AppPool\{Your App Pool Name}.
If it's any help to anyone, give permission to "IIS_IUSRS" group.
Note that if you can't find "IIS_IUSRS", try prepending it with your server's name, like "MySexyServer\IIS_IUSRS".
Running IIS 7.5, I had luck adding permissions for the local computer user IUSR. The app pool user didn't work.
Worked for me in 30 seconds, short and sweet:
In IIS Manager (run inetmgr)
Go to ApplicationPool -> Advanced Settings
Set ApplicationPoolIdentity to NetworkService
Go to the file, right click properties, go to security, click edit, click add, enter Network Service (with space, then click 'check names'), and give full control (or just whatever permissions you need)
Working on IIS 7.5 and Windows 7 i couldnt give permission
APPPOOL/Mypool
IUSR and IIS_IUSRS permissions not working for me
I got to problem this way:
-Created console application with C#
-This appliaction using createeventsource like this
if(!System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName)) System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(sourceName,logName);
-Build solution and get .exe file
-Run exe as administator.This create log file.
NOTE: Dont remember Event viewer must be refresh for see the log.
I hope this solution helps someone :)
Read/Write permission for Web host application using IIS follow following step:-
1)Check the Application pool for the Site
2)Go to Application Pool and Check the Identity of the Site.
3)Explorer the Site and go to the main folder and right-click on that folder.
4)Go to Security Tab and click on the Edit button and then click on the user Identity and below you can see the multiple check box options which you want to provide permission for authenticated users after selecting the check box click on save.
Using IIS 7.5, IIS_IUSRS is supposed to be the account to use. I get '401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials' error. If I add an EVERYONE account with Read, it works. But rather not have Everyone account. Any idea why IIS_IUSRS does not work? It has Read access. Anonymous Access=enabled. Specific User=IUSR
As a side, on the Basic Settings... for the site, Test Settings button says 'ok-on Authenticate' but Authorization 'cannot verify access to path'.
In IIS 7.5 this has changed from being an IIS_IUSRS account to being a user under the IIS AppPools top level windows group
if you create an application pool called
www.mysite.com
then the sites default created user account that it runs as becomes
IIS AppPools\www.mysite.com
Check the following Microsoft Doc under "Securing Resources" to see more
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/624/application-pool-identities/
Under the 'Securing Resources' section listed here:
Open Windows Explorer.
Select a file or directory.
Right click the file and select "Properties"
Select the "Security" tab Click the "Edit" and then "Add" button
Click the "Locations" button and make sure you select your machine. Enter "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool" in the "Enter the object names to select:" text box.
Click the "Check Names" button and click "OK".
Substitute DefaultAppPool with the name of the application pool you created/used when adding your site to IIS. This IIS AppPool (not IIS AppPools as of iis 7.5.7600 on Windows 7 pro) group is a group of virtual accounts that you will not see when performing a normal account search on your local machine or via a directory service.
I'm developing an ASP.NET application which needs Windows Authentication. I have the web.config set up to deny anonymous users and use Windows mode for authentication, but my local development version still lets me pass right through to the site. In order to test different user set-ups, I need to force authorization so I can change users.
How do I set up my system (config files, VS2005 settings, IIS, etc?) to force the authorization window to popup on the site when I'm running on local asp.net development server? In other words, how do I get the authentication popup when running the site in Debug mode?
You will also need to configure IIS and have your application point to IIS instead of the local web server
To configure Windows authentication
Start Internet Information Services (IIS).
Right-click your application's virtual directory, and then click Properties.
Click the Directory Security tab.
Under Anonymous access and authentication control, click Edit.
Make sure the Anonymous access check box is not selected and that Integrated Windows > authentication is the only selected check box.

To configure your application to point to IIS
Right click on your web project, and then click Properties
Click the Web tab
Click the "Use Local IIS Web Server" radio button
