Last Published: April 25, 2020

Description

Enabling Windows Security in ArcGIS Server forces the Business Analyst REST endpoint to challenge users for a login.

Cause

  1. Open Internet Information Services Manager from the Windows Control Panel's Administrative Tools menu.
  2. Navigate to, and highlight, Default Web Site in the Connections panel of IIS Manager.
  3. Double-click the Authentication icon in the Default Web Site Home panel of IIS Manager.
  4. Highlight Anonymous Authentication.
  5. Click Disable in the Actions panel of IIS Manager.
