SUMMARY
=======

Although Internet Service Manager allows you to enable password synchronization
for a non-local anonymous user account, this is not a supported configuration,
and may cause all access to your Web or FTP server to be denied. Password
synchronization should only be used with anonymous user accounts defined on the
local computer. If your Web site relies on the anonymous user being able to
access network resources, you cannot use the anonymous authentication password
synchronization feature and you must specify a valid password for the anonymous
user.
