You use the Service property sheet to control who can use your server and to specify the account used for anonymous client requests to log on to the computer. If you allow anonymous logons, then all user permissions for the user, such as permission to access information, will use the IUSR_computername account. To use your current security system to control information access, change the anonymous logon account from IUSR_computername to an existing account on your network.
This property sheet also sets the comment in the main Internet Service Manager window.
Determines the port on which the WWW service is running. The default is port 80. You can change the port to any unique TCP port number. For a new port number to take effect, you must restart your computer.
Sets the length of time before the server disconnects an inactive user. This value ensures that all connections are closed if the HTTP protocol fails to close a connection.
Sets the Windows NT user account to use for permissions of all anonymous connections. By default, Peer Web Services creates and uses the account IUSR_computername. Note that the password is used only within Windows NT; anonymous users do not log on by using a user name and password.
Specifies the authentication process to use if anonymous access is not allowed or the remote client requests authentication.
Basic authentication is encoded. Basic authentication is typically used in conjunction with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to ensure that user names and passwords are encrypted before transmission. All browsers support Basic authentication.
Windows NT Challenge/Response automatically encrypts user names and passwords.
Specifies the comment displayed in Internet Service Manager Report view.
