To run Faculty Access for the Web on Windows Server 2003, you must perform several additional steps after the installation completes.
Sub-authentication for anonymous accounts
IIS 6.0 does not enable sub-authentication by default. To enable sub-authentication to manage passwords for anonymous accounts, register IISSubA.dll. Click Start, Run and enter the following command:
rundll32.exe C:\Windows\System32\IISSubA.dll;RegisterIISSUBA
Note that C:\Windows
is the default path for the Windows folder in Windows Server 2003. If your installation uses a different path, you must adjust the command accordingly.
Web service extensions
In the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, you must highlight Web Service Extensions and change the status to Allow for Server Side Includes, Active Server Pages, and ASP.NET.
Mapping .fun extension
You must map the “.fun
” file extension to the MIME type of “application/x-javascript”. This enables files containing client-side JavaScript functions to be downloaded and cached for better performance.
From the Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, Computer Management. On the Computer Management screen, click the plus sign beside Services and Applications.
Right-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and select Properties.
On the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager Properties screen, click MIME Types.
Scroll through the list of extensions and look for the .fun extension. If it is not already in the list and mapped to the application/x-javascript MIME type, click New to add it.
