On a Windows Server 2003 machine, I receive HTTP error 404 - why?

Created 2003-08-22 by Lutz Koch.

Windows 2003 comes with a new security model. For every ISAPI application, you will need to set permissions for it to run. Otherwise you will get a 404 error.

To allow PasswordManager.dll, follow these steps:

1. Open IIS Manager
2. Right Click "Web Service Extension" and click "Add new Web Service Extension". A wizard will show up.
3. Give it the name Passwordmanager, and in the dialog below (Required files) browse for the Passwordmanager.dll and add it.
4. Enable the checkbox "Set extension status to Allowed" and hit OK.
