I am struggling with the massive beast that seems to be WMSvc - Web Management service for IIS.
I am trying to deploy web sites from Visual Studio which is killing me. Actually it's killing everyone except me on my team, but since I am designated web server manager right now I'm the one thats feeling the hurt.
It works when I deploy using my Admin windows account, which atleast means I should be on my way, but it doesn't work with another account that isn't admin or an IIS manager account.
Let me show you what I've done:
Installed WMSvc.
Seemingly configured it. Under MYSERVER/Management Service I the settings are:
Enable Remote Connections Windows credentials or IIS Manager credentials Access for unspecified clients - allow.
Added a user MYUSER as IIS Manager account. Also added a windows account MYSERVER\MYUSER
- Added those users under MYSERVER/My web site/IIS Manager Permissions.
- Sacrificed a goat.
Added rules under MYSERVER/Management Service Delegation
Deploy Applications with Content - and added user * Set Permissions - and added user *
After all this, it worked from my Windows admin account, but not from the other accounts. Visual Studio reported 401 unauthorized. In the article I followed there was the below citation under Troubleshooting:
User receives 401 unauthorized error while trying to connect to a Web site. o Cause(s): This error comes from WMSVC and is usually an error with username/password, or because the user does not have access to the Web site. o Resolution(s): Verify the username/password and that the user has access to the Web site.
But to be honest, I have no idea what I've done wrong by now. Any ideas?
Thanks for any answers.
