Use this property sheet to set your Web serverÆs security features.

Anonymous Access and Authentication Control

Click Edit to configure your Web serverÆs authentication and anonymous access features. Use these features to configure you Web server to confirm the identity of users before granting access to restricted content.

Before your server can authenticate users, however, you must first create valid Windows NT user accounts and then configure Windows NT File System (NTFS) directory and file permissions for those accounts.

Secure Communications

(This feature is only available for Windows NT Server installations.)

Use Key Manager to create an SSL key pair and server certificate request. You cannot use your Web serverÆs secure communications features until you have installed a valid server certificate and bound this certificate to your server key pair. For more information, consult your the Internet Information Server documentation.

Note In order to use Key Manager to create an SSL key pair and server certificate request, you must use Internet Service Manager on the computer which is the server; that is, you cannot access Key Manager remotely using Internet Service Manager (HTML).

After creating a server key, under Secure communications, click Edit to configure your Web serverÆs Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) secure communications features (your Web server also supports the Private Communication Technology (PCT) 1.0 standard for secure communications.). You can use these features to do the following:
