Can I use HTTP authentication with IIS ?
Yes. This procedure was tested with phpMyAdmin 2.6.1, PHP 4.3.9 in ISAPI mode under IIS 5.1.
- In your php.ini file, set cgi.rfc2616_headers = 0
- In Web Site Properties -> File/Directory Security -> Anonymous Access dialog box, check the Anonymous access checkbox and uncheck any other checkboxes (i.e. uncheck Basic authentication, Integrated Windows authentication, and Digest if it's enabled.) Click OK.
- In Custom Errors, select the range of 401;1 through 401;5 and click the Set to Default button.
Note that IIS in combination with auth type HTTP can yield to unpredictable results (like normal users being able to do *anything* inspite of restricted rights if using IE7 as browser). It is recommended to use auth type cookie instead.
