By default, IIS (Internet Information Services) runs on the lowest available version of ASP.NET. However, the UAA Service Web application has a minimum requirement of ASP.NET 2.0. For IIS 7 and IIS 6, the UAA Service installer creates an application pool that is configured for ASP.NET 2.0. For IIS 5.1, you must set the ASP.NET version to 2.0.

In addition, for IIS 7, you must set up IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility and Windows Authentication before you use the UAA Service.

Note that if you are using IIS 6 or IIS 7, the UAA Service installer will disable the Windows loopback check and restart IIS (if the loopback check has not already been disabled). For information about why the installer does this, see Microsoft support page article 896861.

For IIS 6.0 only, the UAA Service installer will automatically set ASP.NET v2.0 to Allowed in Web Service Extensions.
