Only Windows: Checking Permissions for the TREX Directory

The TREX setup program creates the Web site SAP_TREX_<instance_number> on the Web server. This causes an anonymous user for access to the Web site to be defined. The anonymous user needs certain permissions for the TREX directory:

• IIS 5.X: Full Control
• IIS 6.X: Read & Execute

If an error occurs, find out the anonymous user and correct the settings.

Proceed as follows to do this:

• Determine the anonymous user entered in the Web site SAP_TREX_<instance_number>.
• Give this user Full Control access to the TREX directory and to all contained files and sub-directories.
