Create and Configure the Virtual Directory

After mapping the .ntc file extension, you must create and configure a virtual directory. The virtual directory must require NT challenge and response for credentials.

To configure the virtual directory and ensure it requires NT challenge and response for credentials

1. Create the following virtual directory on your IIS web server:

   /siteminderagent/ntlm
   

2. Open the Internet Services Manager.
3. Click the Web Sites folder in the left pane.
4. Right-click Default Web Site in the right pane, and select Properties.
5. The Default Web Site Properties dialog appears.
6. Click the Directory Security tab.
7. In the Anonymous Access and Authentication Control group box, click Edit.

   The Authentication Methods dialog appears.

8. Do the following:
   1. Clear the Enable Anonymous Access check box.
   2. Select the Integrated Windows Authentication check box.
9. Click OK twice.

   The Authentication Methods dialog and the Default Web Site Properties dialog close. The virtual directory is configured and requires NT challenge and response for credentials.

Note: You may need to reboot and then verify that the virtual directory and its appropriate settings are correct.
