Problem signing into Kentico CMS Site Manager
Hi, I just downloaded the free community version and installed it on my local machine. I have it all set up, and can browse to the site at http://localhost/KenticoCMS/.

However, when I tried to log into the site manager, I got this error:

User image
(you may have to go to the direct link, if the image is too small to be read)

Since I had changed the authentication mode in the web.config to 'Windows' instead of 'Forms', I checked my IIS settings and enabled Windows Authentication for my site and changed this:

User image
to this:

User image

Now the error I get is as follows:

User image


I used administrator and blank password as suggested by the site to try to log in. Any idea where I need to go from here?

Hello,

before you switch on the Windows authentication please follow this instructions (create the user with global admin permissions) - http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/configuring_windows_authentication.htm

Hope it will help you.
