In IIS, why doesn't Window Authentication show up as one of the options for my web application?

Question

I\'m reading about how to set up windows authentication for my web application on IIS 7. In the description they have Window Authentication as an option in IIS.

Answer 1

I had this problem in my windows 7 professional. I found that the "Windows Authentication" option was not enabled from "Turn windows feature on and off".

Open "Turn windows feature on and off" window. The "Windows Authentication" option is available under Internet Information services" -> World wide web services -> security. Click the check box for "Windows Authentication".
