Anonymous Authentication (IIS)

CartoPac Server uses an application called CartoPac Slide. Slide runs on client machines and is used for transporting field data between the client and the server. All operations with Slide require end user authentication and authorization. Permissions are controlled through CartoPac Server User Management.

Slide communicates to the CartoPac Web Server using anonymous authentication and verifies permissions using CartoPac tokens that are embedded in each client request. If CartoPac Slide cannot communicate with the server through anonymous authentication in the environment's default IIS configuration, it may be necessary to adjust IIS to allow anonymous users to access the Slide data endpoints in the /Services, /MobilePackages, and /Slide.Win32 directories of CartoPac Server. This may be done through the Allow Authorization Rule component in IIS.
