We have a client intranet web application running as a remote proxy on IIS 8.5 with Windows Authentication enabled. Now, we need to disableWindows Authentication and enable Anonymous Authentication on the URL sub path/api/ to make all data from this path publicly availailbe within the client intranet domain.
To clarify, there is no physical folder as this is just an url path within the (Django) web application where the reverse proxy (URL Rewrite module) points to. So, adding an application or virtual folder probably won't work as a physical path
is required.
Actually, the solution from chensformers on stackoverflow (Add authentication to subfolders without creating a web application) sounds quite promising. However didn't get it to run yet as I am missing asection declaration.
How to configure IIS 8.5 to achieve this?
