To clarify, MapGuide does not use the IUSR account, in fact it uses the
"Local System" account.
If you see something with IUSR_, it is because IIS uses this account pr.
default for websites.
(And MapGuide's WebAgent runs from IIS)
You can either use integrated authentication with impersonation, or
change the default user in the
IIS settings for the website. Beware that you will run into multiple
permission issues if you do this.

Thanks for the replies. Our IS department has expressed concern over the
IUSR account being used for Mapguide, due to the possibility of hacks. Maybe
we are wrong. Is there a problem with just leaving the IUSR alone? Has
anyone run into this before?

I believe the issue is a permissions problem after that. The IUSR has
probably been granted execute permissions on some of the MGE folders in
order to run the mapagent and access the viewer files. You probably need to
modify directory permissions to allow whomever your new user is.

Not sure about setting the guest account.
This may be related: I think that trying to set anything but anonymous
access for MapGuide messes with its internal auth capabilities (which
use standard http auth req/rest codes). I haven't tried this in quite
a while though.

Hello,
I am interested in changing the Internet Guest Account that Mapguide uses
to
a private one. How do I get Mapguide to use this instead of the IUSR
account? Is this possible?
Thanks!
