IIS Authorization Rules breaks WP REST-API and results in fail in Site Health
apperently it seems the wordpress rest-api cannot work with restricted authorizations.
when i change the default Allow All Users
/ this:
to a restricting ad group and remove the All Users
(obviously):
which creates this web.config
:
system.webServer
security
authorization
remove users=* roles= verbs= /
add accessType=Allow roles=DOMAIN\Test-Group /
/authorization
/security
/system.webServer
all seems fine
at first glance,
but if we go to WP Site Health it reveals this errors:
so it seems the wp REST-Api cannot operate without anonymous
/ All Users
access.
How can i fix this or am i missing something and need to adjust some settings?
thank you
