Items to consider when you enable anonymous access to your portal site through a virtual server in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

SUMMARY

This article discusses some considerations that apply when you enable anonymous access to your Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 portal site through a virtual server. When you enable anonymous access to your portal site through a virtual server, first you create a new virtual server, and then you configure the virtual server for anonymous access.

MORE INFORMATION

The steps that explain how to create a new virtual server and enable it for anonymous access are listed in the "Manage Anonymous Access Settings" topic of the "Portal and Site Security" section of the "Security" chapter of the Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administration Guide.

If the portal site contains custom Web Parts, where custom Web Part assemblies exist in the Wwwroot\Bin folder of the default virtual server, and where custom Web Parts are added to the Web.config file of the default virtual server, you must copy the Web.config file of the default virtual server to the new virtual server. If the Web Part assemblies are located in the Wwwroot\Bin folder instead of in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), you must move the assemblies to the GAC or copy the assemblies to the Bin folder of the new virtual server. By doing so, the custom Web Parts are available to the new virtual server when you connect to it.

The Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administration Guide (Administrator's Help.chm) is located in the Docs folder in the root of the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 CD-ROM.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
