On the computer where the chat server is installed, you must configure IIS to support anonymous access to the Web site and use an account that has read/write permissions on the file repository folder specified during installation and managed using the Server Config Tool. Use the following procedure to configure these settings.

To configure the Web site settings in IIS

  1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager by clicking Start, pointing to All Programs, pointing to Administrative Tools, and then clicking Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  2. In the console tree, expand the local computer, expand the Web Sites folder, right-click the application for the Web site (MGCWebService), and then click Properties.

  3. On the Directory Security tab, under Authentication and Access Control, click Edit.

  4. In the Authentication Methods dialog box, verify that the Enable Anonymous Access check box is selected.

  5. In the User Name and Password boxes, specify the credentials for an account that has read/write permissions on the file repository folder. This must be an account with RTCComponentUniversalServices permissions because the account needs to access the file repository and Message Queuing.

    Note

    For file transfer to work, you may need to restart the Web Service computer.
