Problem of authentication schemes in the backend

Hi,

I deployed my sitefinity website in Amen host. Everything looks like fine excepted one: when i go to the page section in the backend i have this message : 

IIS specified authentication schemes 'Basic, Anonymous', but the binding only supports specification of exactly one authentication scheme. Valid authentication schemes are Digest, Negotiate, NTLM, Basic, or Anonymous. Change the IIS settings so that only a single authentication scheme is used.

My site is host in a hosting society so i cannot change the parameter of IIS 7. What should I do??

Thanks,

Fabien

Hello Ducret,

Please make sure that you have Annonymous and Forms Authentication enabled in IIS. All other authentication types should be disabled.

Hi Ivan,

That's my problem, I cannot do this because I have no access to the IIS server... Any others ideas? Should I change something in the web.config?

Thanks,

Fabien

Hi Ducret,

This is  a server side setting which is not controlled by Sitefinity. You can ask your host if it allows changing the authentication with config files or choose another plan that they allows accessing the IIS.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your answer. My host allows me to changing the authentication with config files. But what's the correct syntax to change authentication in the web.config?

Thanks,

Fabien

Hello Ducret,

The easiest way to to this is by setting the mode of the authentication element in the web.config to Forms as shown below.

<configuration>   
  <system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

I hope this will solve the issue but if you still experience a problem - don't hesitate to ask for help.
