Password Synchronization and Local User Accounts Information

ID: Q183722

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

Although Internet Service Manager allows you to enable password synchronization for a non-local anonymous user account, this is not a supported configuration, and may cause all access to your Web or FTP server to be denied. Password synchronization should only be used with anonymous user accounts defined on the local computer. If your Web site relies on the anonymous user being able to access network resources, you cannot use the anonymous authentication password synchronization feature and you must specify a valid password for the anonymous user.
