  • Getting IISPassword to play well with others

    Posted on :: Feb 10

    Is your IISbased site not responding, locking you out, or not linking to article?
    I had a heck of a time chasing down the problem. I eventually did  figure it out. The solution is pretty easy but certainly was not too obvious at first.

    I am using ISAPI_Rewrite 3.0 for url rewriting. Then needed to add password protection to a folder. I hate creating accounts on windows as it's such a pain in the ass. I really liked IISPassword by IIS Tools. Unfortunately, both programs use an .htaccess file and neither one understand each other. Every time I changed one setting, it would overwrite the .htaccess file and  this went back and forth for a few days.

    There is a solution and I think it's pretty easy to make both applications work in harmony. IISPassword allows you to change the file where the settings are stored. They must have anticipated these types of issues and accounted for it.

    To change the file used by IISPassword, simply follow these steps.
