Microsoft IIS 7: Configuring feature delegation

The ITP/OnLine web application controls its own authentication and authorization settings. This must be explicitly allowed in the Microsoft IIS 7 configuration, using the following procedure:

1. Open Microsoft IIS Manager.
2. In the Connections panel on the left-hand side, select the element that represents the entire web server.
3. In the middle panel, double click Feature Delegation to open the Feature Delegation configuration page.
   

   
   

4. On the configuration page, select Authentication - Anonymous, and then select Read/Write from the actions pane. If the link Read/Write in the Actions pane is disabled, then the setting is already configured correctly.
   

   
   

5. Repeat the last step for Authentication - Forms, Authentication - Windows, and Authorization Rules.
   

   

6. If other Authentication Features are installed in IIS, either at the time ITP/OnLine is installed or when these Features are added at a future time, Feature Delegation must also be set to Read/Write for these Features.
