Changing the password for iusr and iwam
|
|
|
| The iusr and iwam passwords get cracked when we run an audit. What do I have
to be aware of if I uncheck let iis manage the password. I want to manually
set a strong password.

Then you have to manually manage the passwords, and rememebr to change
them correctly.

Also, since this is for anonymous access, what does it matter if the
password cracks during an audit? Why strongly secure an account that
nobody ever logs into and that is intended to allow unauthenticated
access anyway?
