IIS 7 Breaking Changes

Oops. Here they are, according to InfoQ:

  • Traditional HTTP Modules and Handlers have to be reconfigured in the web.config files.
  • Impersonation in the BeginRequest and AuthenticateRequest stages are no longer supported.
  • Applications can no longer use both Forms and Windows Authentication at the same time.
  • Non-standard HTTP clients may have problems using Windows Authentication because of how authentication has been moved into the kernel.
  • Other authentication issues revolve around timing such as when client impersonation comes into play.
  • The global event DefaultAuthentication_OnAuthenticate method is no longer supported and the event WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate won't always be fired.
  • Passport authentication has been completely deprecated. Unlike all of the previous breaking changes, there is no workaround for this one. Passport isn't even available when running IIS in classic mode.
