    Curator no longer supports new installations on IIS

    For current information on how to set up Active Directory on Windows, please see our Active Directory documentation.

    LDAP Passthrough - LEGACY SYSTEMS ONLY

    Using IIS, you can use the user's AD credentials automatically.

    Enable Windows Authentication in "Add/Remove Windows Features". (Sometimes this is known as Add Roles and Features) Server Roles -> Web Server (IIS) -> Web Server -> Security -> Window Authentication. Note: This may be found in the Server Manager, not IIS

    Once this is added, go to your site in IIS, click "Authentication". Change "Windows Authentication" to "Enabled" and "Anonymous Authentication" to "Disabled".

    Authentication settings

    Go to the site in the IIS Manager and open the Configuration Editor

    Configuration editor

    Choose "system.webServer/serverRuntime" for the Section selection. Select UseWorkerProcessUser. Click Apply.
