Hosting Controller needs administrative rights for the anonymous user on its virtual folder, this is necessary because ADSI will not work without it, hence resulting in problems.

To set anonymous user:

1. Open Microsoft IIS Management Console.

2. Click Default Site, there you'll see the virtual folder for HC which is named AdvAdmin by default. Click on AdvAdmin folder, right click and select Properties, go to Directory Security .

3. Click Edit button under Anonymous access and authentication control.

4. Check the Anonymous Access check box, click Edit, click Browse and select AdvWebAdmin (This user is in administrative group).  Click Ok.

5. Check the check box Allow IIS to control password and click Ok.
   Note: After clicking Ok button, if you get any prompt, click Yes button.

6. Check the check box Basic authentication (password is sent in clear text). Clear the check box Integrated Windows authentication. Click Ok.
   Note: After clicking Ok button, if you get any prompt, click Yes button.

7. Click Ok to apply changes.
