IIS 7.5: Setting 'app pool user' as the anonymous user programmatically

I have an web app in IIS 7.5 with its own AppPool using .net 4.

I want to use the feature of having anonymous access as the app pool identity - which is easily configured in a GUI via the inetmgr snapin.

Is there any way do this programmatically, for instance through web.config?

I've looked around and it appears that the anonymousAuthenti开发者_如何学运维cation element does the trick, but it does not explain how to specify the app pool user in any significant way. I've tried setting my anon user to 'IIS APPPOOL/[AppPoolName]' as seems to be suggested here, with no success.

Any suggestions to how this is supposed to be configured?

Taking a closer look at that link: http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication

'If you leave this value blank (that is, username=""), Anonymous authentication uses the application pool identity to authenticate anonymous users'

For the lazy (me)

<system.webServer> <security> <authentication> <anonymousAuthentication userName="" /> </authentication> </security> </system.webServer>
