Author iis authentication for users who need to change their passwords

Hello,

I've recently come across 2 situations where I have users who only access my
internal domain through the web. The first situation is a domain user using
OWA, the second is a domain user using a custom web site requiring
authentication. This wasn't much of a problem until their passwords expired.
I was wondering if there was a solution that would allow these users to
change their passwords as needed. Right now, they are simply being rejected.

Thank you,
Mike

PS These users can not currently access the domain through any method other
than IE.

Hi,

You can solve this by using domain account for anonymous access instead of
local IUSR_<computername>. You can do this only for IISADMPWD directory.

This domain account should be a member of guest group on in OWA server and
have "Access from network" and "Log on locally" right. It should also be
under the domain user group.
