Q:

How to allow untrusted providers in IIS7?

I need to allow untrusted providers in IIS7. I think that this is accomplished by editing the trustedProviders section of Administrator.config, but I don't know exactly how to do this.
I want to do this so that I can manage users directly from IIS7's gui.
Is it a text file? Where is it? If I can't edit it directly, how do I do it?

A:

Sorry about that - to allow untrusted providers:

edit c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\administration.config
edit the trustedProviders node to have the new key/value: allowUntrustedProviders="true". It should look like this:
trustedProviders allowUntrustedProviders="true"
save the file
iisreset

I believe you will get warning messages in IIS Manager when you try to edit roles/users, but it should work. Also, Microsoft recommends against using untrusted providers due to security concerns.
