Check the account used for anonymous access to the website. Follow the procedures below for each site hosted on the IIS 10.0 web server: Open the IIS 10.0 Manager. Double-click "Authentication" in the IIS section of the website’s Home Pane. If "Anonymous access" is disabled, this is Not a Finding. If "Anonymous access" is enabled, click "Anonymous Authentication". Click "Edit" in the "Actions" pane. If the "Specific user" radio button is enabled and an ID is specified in the adjacent control box, this is the ID being used for anonymous access. Note the account name.
