IIS & CGI (C executable)

[gavinlow]

Hi,

I have an application running on NT4 with II3. A server component erouter.exe is started which opened a window with class eRouter1 and title eRouter1 and waits for messages. The website is access via

http://server/cgi-bin/eclient.exe?logon.

This eclient.exe will use FindWindow to locate the eRouter1 and submit its requests to it.

I am trying to port it to a higher version of IIS. For testing purpose, I've set up my application using WinXP Pro with IIS 5.1. However, I've not been able to get it to work. The eclient.exe always complain that it is not able to locate eRouter1. If I start eclient.exe on the server itself (w/o going thru

http://.....),

it is able to locate the eRouter1.

On II3, I needed to insert a W3SVC parameter CreateProcessAsUser with value 0. This, I have also inserted into the registry on the new platform.

Are there any other settings I need to add?
Is the above problem permissions/settings related?
Or do I need to modify my program codes?

Thanks.

Gavin

Further info.

Currently, in IIS, under Directory Security - Anonymous Access and Authentication Control, if Anonymous Access is switched on (and using id IUSR_<server>), I will encounter the problem. If Anonymous Access is switched off and Integrated Windows Authentication is switched on, the problem is resolved.

What needs to be done so that the Anonymous Access can be used?
