integrated windows authentication

[GianniB]

A customer asks me to disable the integrated windows authentication in IIS (it's a shared hosting server). Is this something that can be done, or does this bring forth security risks or other issues?

Yes, I think that you can disable it because 'Enable anonymous assess' has more priority than Window authentication. It is used for authentication by Active Directory with Windows or AD internal accounts and I think that disabling will not affect correct Plesk operation.

Can this be disabled in Plesk somehow? Or do I have to go in Windows to disable it?

You can find it in IIS settings, not Plesk.
