Deployed an ASP.NET application to our internal production server as a virtual directory under the default web site. I had been getting 403 errors when trying to connect to it. So I verified the folder permissions and when I went to look at the IIS (7) SSL settings I saw that "Require SSL", "Require 128-bit SSL" and require client certificates have been enabled. This application does not need SSL.
The problem is that these checkboxes and radio buttons have been greyed out and I can't seem to figure out how to disable them. Also, in the upper right hand corner of the IIS manager, I see in the alerts box "The site does not have a secure binding (HTTPS) and cannot accept SSL connections.
How do I disable the SSL settings?
For anyone else having this issue, here is what I found that cleared the SSL configuration:
appcmd set config "Default Web Site" /section:access /sslFlags:None /commit:APPHOST
That was a bug in IIS Manager, the workaround is to temporarily add a binding using SSL so that the checkboxes become enabled, then uncheck them, and remove the ssl binding.
ALternatively using AppCmd, or Configuration Editor (in IIS Manager) you should be able to achieve that as well.
Just open IIS Manager, navigate to the site using the Tree view, and double click Configuration Editor, then select system.webServer/security/access in the section list. Change that value to None.
If your application has no relationship to your Default Site in IIS, you should really create your own Web Site in IIS so that you are completely isolated from the settings you would inherit from running in a virtual directory.
In the Bindings for your new site, distinguish your site from the Default Site by using a different port or alternately use a different domain name, such as a sub-domain of the domain used by the Default site (requires your internal DNS to be updated to support this new domain).

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.
I'm currently using IIS 7.5 to both host ASP pages and as a bridge to a tomcat server setup to host JasperReports. I've been trying to figure out how to host both of these services with 1 IP and one IIS server.
What it should do
1) When the account managers visit admin.mycompany.com, I'd like to display the ASP pages in IIS. under the domain admin.mycompany.com
2) When the account managers visits reports.mycompany.com, IIS should act as a bridge to the tomcat server and display the tomcat pages under reports.mycompany.com
Restrictions
1) Our hosting provider refuses to give us a 2nd IP, and
2) I'd prefer not to install Apache, which can easily do this with virtual host.
This question can be resolve with https://serverfault.com/questions/47537/can-iis-be-configure-to-forward-request-to-another-web-server
I copied vdboor's answer here for reference:
For IIS 7.5, Microsoft provides official modules for this!
URL Rewrite: http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite
Reverse proxy: http://www.iis.net/download/ApplicationRequestRouting
In the site settings, you'll get an "URL Rewrite" icon.
Open it
right click on the "inbound rules list"
Select "Add Rule(s)"
Choose "Reverse proxy"
In this dialog you can enter the hostname + port to forward to. After adding the rule, opening the edit dialog offers more customizations.
the reverse proxy template is not available at the server level.
- so you need to go to the site level, and then click the 'URL rewrite' icon to be able to use this template.

Newly installed IIS on a clean windows Server 2008 R2. Installed all security option. Then for the default web site authentication, enabled windows authentication and disabled all others. Then when access the default page iisstart.htm, it should give me a popup for authentication message.
but when I access the test page like: http://localhost/iisstart.htm, there is no popup. same as enabled Anonymous Authentication.
How to fix it?
I think your webservice is accessing files via your app pool identity, remove this user from the security access list on the file.
If you go to "localhost", then IE will see this as part of the "Intranet Zone". In the "Intranet Zone", IE will by default automatically send your current credentials to sites that use "Windows Authentication".
The result is that everything is probably working correctly.
First of all make sure you check if the app pool user can access the files of the website (NTFS security settings). See: IIS7 Permissions Overview - ApplicationPoolIdentity
After that (and double checking that only Windows Authentication is enabled in IIS) take into account that your URL must not contain dots! You can make an extra binding (see: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731692(v=ws.10).aspx) that contains only letters and numbers and then add that binding to your local hosts file (open a text editor as administrator and then edit the file hosts in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) to check.
I Use Visual Studio 2010 with ASP.NET 4.0 and IIS7.
When I open my site, the URL looks like this
http://localhost:6549/Website/help/tab/contact-us
I want a friendly URL:
http://mysite/help/tab/contact-us
or anything that will help me to get rid of the Port 6549 from URL
http://localhost/Website/help/tab/contact-us
I use ASP.NET Development Server which is what Visual Studio use when you run a localhost website
Wait !! Please make distinction between "Properties window" and "Property pages" of the project. I always tried your advices, but using "Property pages", and there is no such property like Use dynamic ports on that page. This property can be found only in the "Properties window"
Assuming it's the ASP.NET development server:
To get rid of the port number you need to do this
- go to properties of the project
- click the web tab
- check the specific port and assign 80
There is also a virtual path setting here which you could set to /
Is your solution configured to use IIS and not the ASP.NET Development Server? There is also a property on the web application where you can specify the port (or allow for a random port to be chosen) - port 80 is the appropriate port - this requires administrator access to the process that is launching the web site.
Edit:
I was thinking you can use your host file to redirect the user, but I checked and you can't redirect to a port.
If you have IIS7 on the machine, just make the location of your web development folder into a virtual directory on IIS.
Then you can access it by http://localhost/website/
For Testing x509 certificate.I expanded the Default Website node in IIS 7.5.When i right click there is no properties option in popup menu.How to include it?
Go to your server node (not website) and you should have a Server Certificates thing to go into.
