I'm trying to enable NTLM authentication on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine with IIS 7.5 for a specific file in my web root. I've been following these instructions http://docs.moodle.org/en/NTLM_authentication#IIS_Configuration

In the IIS Manager I open the Authentication module, disable anonymous authentication and enable Windows Authentication however according to every post I can find on the matter I should have a 'providers' option appear but I don't.

I've double checked in Server Manager that the 'Windows Authentication' security feature is enabled for IIS.

Any help anyone can offer would be great,

Thank you!

Are you attempting this EXACTLY like it says in the screenshot? I hate to be redundant, but I just installed a brand new IIS 7.5 on a VM, and the option is there. – JohnThePro May 10 at 21:35
and also, I hate to do it, but are you 100% positive you're running 2008R2? In Server 2008 (iis 7) there is no user interface for this functionality. – JohnThePro May 10 at 21:36

When you enable Windows Authentication (and you have it selected), an option should appear on the right: http://d.pr/Zng5

You can also right-click and get the option as well.

That's the thing though, the Provider's option isn't there. I would try re-installing the Windows Authentication feature however the checkbox is disabled despite me being the administrator... – Alex Bilbie Mar 11 '11 at 0:48

Perhaps you can't specify providers for an individual page? (that's what the screenshot's showing you trying to do).

First, try it at the Server or Site level; if they work, work your way down.

Page, Folder, or Site. It works on all levels. – JohnThePro May 10 at 21:36

I had similar issue, after verification with other servers where i see this option I found out it's missing on Windows Server 2008. Whereas on Server 2008 R2 this option is available.
