IIS 6 Configuration interfering with ASP.NET MVC RC1

I am using Netegrity's SiteMinder single sign on for a subset part of my development machine. Something like https://testdev.com/sm/testapp where /sm is my SiteMinder configured location.

Why is my web application seeing latency?

We have an ASP.Net app, that behaves strangely under IIS6. The app itself is straightforward ASP.Net 2.0 Webforms deal, nothing too weird is going on in there (there are couple HTTP Modules in the pipeline, but I wouldn't consider those weird :) ). The thing I don't understand is the page execution times, or, more specifically, the diffe...

how can I share an asp.net session between http and https

I read that a page which runs under an https connection cannot share an InProc Session (based on cookies) with another page (or the same for that matter) running under regular http. My site is running on Server 2003, IIS 6 and .Net 2.0. After some experiments it appears that a page which stores data in session while being connected thro...

Is it absolutely necessary to manually configure IIS6 to use ASP.NET MVC?

I have a web hosting that replied to me it was not possible to alter the IIS6 settings to set the mapping of .mvc to the Asp.Net ISAPI dll, nor enable Wildcard Application Mappings. In short, I cannot change any IIS setting. Is there any way to run ASP.NET Mvc in that conditions? Note: I read a few related questions here about this, b...

Changing an IIS6 website directory remotely

First, the prior situation: We have this project with a one-click build script. It's cobbled together with TFS Deployer + PowerShell + VB Script.

Hi, I have ASP.NET 2.0 applications running on 32 bit Windows 2K3 Standard edition with 4GB of RAM. I want to upgrade the server to Enterprise edition and add more memory to a total of 6GB.

What are the performance implications of wildcard mapping all requests through IIS 6.0?

I am interested in using UrlRewriter.NET and noticed in the config page for IIS 6.0 on Win2k3, that they say to map all requests through the ASP.NET ISAPI. That's fine, but I am wondering if anyone has good or bad things to say about this performance wise? Is my web server going to be dragged down to its knees by doing this or will it ...
