When installing Cadcorp SIS WebMap and the Editing Web Service, Anonymous Authentication is disabled by default to manage security access.

This means you will be prompted for a username and password when trying to access Cadcorp SIS WebMap.

To avoid this, either Enable Anonymous Authentication (Start > Control Panel > System & Security > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > Authentication) or set up security access to Cadcorp SIS WebMap.

Now proceed to install Cadcorp SIS WebMap.
