Using Mobile Devices or Web Services with Windows Authentication enabled

Note: This guide is for IIS 7 users only.

It is possible to have a Secret Server instance use Integrated Windows Authentication and continue to use the Secret Server mobile application on the iPhone or BlackBerry Devices if the server is running IIS 7.

In order to do this perform the following steps:
  1. Open IIS
  2. Select the 'webservices' folder under the Secret Server virtual directory
  3. Click on 'Authentication'
  4. Disable 'Windows Authentication'
  5. Enable 'Anonymous Authentication'
  6. Recycle the application pool running Secret Server in IIS
This change will enable the mobile devices to connect to the web services folder even if the rest of the application is running with Integrated Windows Authentication.
