Hello, this tutorial does not work because although the user is added to the website, he cannot see the website and/or connect to the server.
I am using Windows Server 2019.
I am using IIS 10.
I am trying to connect to localhost IIS using account which is in group Users and has been added via IIS Manager Permissions (icon - two guys with globe).
The folder where the app is deployed is located on the user's folder and has IIS_IUSRS assigned and administrator can run the app fine via IIS.
Also, when trying to connect to the localhost IIS, I can select:
a) connect to server, when I enter localhost, I am requested to enter username and password but I need to connect using local Windows authentication and there is no option for that
b) connect to website, which is the same but I have to enter web app name extra.
Why the user cannot connect to the localhost server?
