    remote admin using domain users

    Hi

    I have a webfarm and intend to allow the IIS Remote Manager access to my clients.  The only problem i have with this is that all my users are domain based rather than local and i would rather not expose my end users to the name of the internal domain.  Currently i can log on happily using Remote manager using domain\user username.  I really want to try and omit the domain\ part of it so that users simply type user to get access.  Is this possible?  In the ftp authentication section we can set a default domain. Is there any such setting here?

     Thanks

    Richard

    You should be able to use IIS manager users instead of domain users.

    This would work, but would be a bit of an admin nightmare as i would have to control usernames/passwords across both AD and the iis database.

    Doubt you can set default domain for this, as it is not using basic auth. Anyway, if the client machine is within the domain, do you still need to put in domain\username format? if not, then you have to live with it :)
