  Can iis 7 websites use iis manager authentication? Reply Contact I have the new ftp 7 up and running on iis7 server 2008.  I have  implemented iis manager security and setup accounts that can access the ftp server.  But now have decided to use the webdav feature to simplify users sharing files in and out of the network.  I have implemented webdav on the default website and all works fine using Windows Basic Authentication  and requiring SSL.  But I want to set up some external users with simple accounts for accessing the files thru SSL.  I was hoping to use iis manager authentication for the new accounts but IIS Authentication is not available under Custom Providers.  For that matter Custom Providers is not available for any of my websites.  Can this be done someway?

Reply Contact Yes you can do it, here is how you can achieve it: http://blogs.msdn.com/carlosag/archive/2008/09/26/using-iis-manager-users-in-your-application.aspx Do make sure that you do this using SSL and to limit the ACL changes into the configuration files as much as you can.
