I get the message "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials" after attempting to connect to my website.
I used the "Identity" value in the MDS Application Pool (go to IIS Manager, click the "Application Pools" node under the host node and look at the "Identity" value for "MDS Application Pool") as the "User name" and the password for that "Identity" value as the "Password". I do not have a domain set up (using Workgroup: WORKGROUP). I am running Windows 10 Pro on my computer, which is the host of the website. I made sure that in the Windows Authentication setting for my website, "NTLM" is above "Negotiate" on the "Enabled Providers" list. Only Windows Authentication is enabled. I also made sure that it was set the same way in the host, itself. Only Windows Authentication is enabled. In the website "Basic Settings...", I used "MDS Application Pool" and pass-through authentication. In "Edit Permissions..." under the "Security" tab, after clicking "Edit...", I added the user "IIS AppPool\MDS Application Pool" and gave it "Full control".
Does anyone know how I can connect to my website? Thank you.
