AnonymousPasswordSync

This property indicates whether IIS should handle the user password for anonymous users attempting to access resources. For anonymous access to function properly, if the value of AnonymousPasswordSync is FALSE the administrator must set the password in the AnonymousUserPass property. If the value of AnonymousPasswordSync is TRUE, no anonymous user password is required.

note Note If the value of AnonymousPasswordSync is set to TRUE, and the value of the metabase property AllowAnonymous is set to FALSE, no users will be permitted to log on to the FTP server.
