Windows Authentication Does Not Work When Deploying MVC Site

Question

I configured my MVC site to use Windows authentication in the project properties and in the configuration file:

<authentication mode="Windows"/> 

When I run the code on my machine, everything works fine, but when I deploy the site in IIS, I get the error "User. You do not have the right to use this site."

I made sure that Windows authentication is enabled in IIS functions, I don’t know what else I need for this, please help!

• .NET Framework 4.5
• IIS 7.5
• MVC 5

Answer 1

you need to disable anonymous authentication.
