Installing Anonymous Logon

To install the Anonymous Logon sample application

  1. Ensure that Microsoft® IIS version 3.0 or later, Microsoft® Active Server Pages, and Microsoft Outlook Web Access are installed on the same server.To install Web Access, run server setup on the distribution compact disk of Microsoft Exchange Server, select Complete/Custom, and select the Outlook Web Access option. This installs the CDO Library, the CDO Rendering Library, and Web Access .asp files.
  2. Create a folder on the IIS computer — for example, c:\CDOSamples\anon\. Copy all files from the appropriate folder on the distribution compact disk into this folder.
  3. Using the Internet Service Manager, create a new virtual root indicating that folder, and enable both Read and Execute permissions on it. For example, if you create a virtual root called \anon, the files in it will be available through a URL such as http://<server>/anon/default.htm.
  4. Make sure that the Anonymous user role has been given at least Reviewer permission within each public folder you will want to open. A folder owner can make this setting by first selecting the folder and then using the Properties option on the File menu of Microsoft® Outlook™. (By default, Anonymous users are given no access to public folders.) Additionally, if you intend to have a folder appear within Microsoft Outlook Web Access or if it is to be rendered through the RenderingApplication object, make sure the folder has been explicitly published. Microsoft Exchange administrators publish a folder using the Folder Shortcuts tab of the HTTP (Web) Site Settings property page in the <site name>\Configuration\Protocols container, using the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program.

At this point, users should be able to move to and run this sample application using the URL based on the virtual root you created.
