5) Now let's configure some additional properties of this new virtual directory. Right click the 'Northwind' directory and choose 'Properties'

Click on the Directory Security tab and take a look at the default settings by clicking on the 'Edit' next to the Anonymous Access to get to the Authentication Methods dialog, followed by clicking Edit again to see the Anonymous user account - it is usually something like IUSR_PCNAME. If you are running IIS and the SS CE Server agent on the same PC then we can use the default settings as shown here:

Now let's configure the SQL Server CE Server Agent permissions - we need to configure directory authorisation & file permissions

File Permissions

Even though IIS authenticates the client you still need to configure the NTFS permissions on the 'SSCESA10.DLL'. Using Windows Explorer navigate to the virtual directory you created in step #4 (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\northwind) - right click the file, choose Properties and click the Security tab. You need the following user permissions:

Administrators - Full Control
System - Full Control
Anonymous Authentication (the IUSR_PCNAME) identified above - Read and Execute permissions

If you are using Integrated Windows Authentication, grant the client's user or group read and execute permissions. Note this is not necessary if you are running IIS and SQL 2000 on the same PC.

Directory Authorisation

Using Windows Explorer navigate to the virtual directory that contains the file we have just set permissions on above - 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\northwind' - right click the directory, choose Properties and click the Security tab. You need the following user permissions:

Administrators - Full Control
System - Full Control
Anonymous Authentication (the IUSR_PCNAME) - Modify

Again if you are using Integrated Windows Authentication, 'Modify' for the appropriate client - not necessary if you are running IIS and SQL 2000 on the same PC

That's it then we are done with the desktop configuration.
