  How to set authentication with appcmd.exe or ServerManager Reply Contact I'd like to set the authentication mode for a web site programaticly, can I do this by calling appcmd.exe with some nifty inparameters or using the Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager object? (RawAttributes?) By authentication mode I mean anonymous, basic (clear text) or windows integrated. I've searched msdn but fail to find any information on this!. Thanks for any help!

  Re: How to set authentication with appcmd.exe or ServerManager Reply Contact For appcmd, you can set it via /section:xxxx. all auth schemes are locked except Form, so you either unlock it first or commit it at apphost level (meaning store the config in applicationHost.config, which is not so good as in xcopy deployment via web.config file. Example. appcmd set config "default web site" /section:windowsAuthentication /enabled:true /commit:apphost or unlock first: appcmd unlock config /section:windowsAuthentication appcmd set config "default web site" /section:windowsAuthentication /enabled:true   Cheers, Bernard Cheah

  Re: How to set authentication with appcmd.exe or ServerManager Reply Contact You should post your question in IIS7 - Extensibility.   http://forums.iis.net/1042.aspx  I would be interested in the answer also, I tried a few tries and kept bumping up against an index error.  Here is my code sample.  I manually set it in the GUI to see what the value stored in the applicationHost.config.    Here is what is stored.     <location path="Default Web Site">         <system.webServer>             <security>                 <authentication>                     <basicAuthentication enabled="true" />                 </authentication>             </security>         </system.webServer>     </location> Here is my code sample. Dim objAuth As New Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager objAuth.Sites("Default Web Site").SetAttributeValue("basicAuthentication", False) objAuth.CommitChanges() This lists various commands in appcmd appcmd list sites -config -? C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd list sites -config -?
