My IIS website could not be reached by machines on different domain

Question

User-786564416 posted

I have my web site Murasalat that run on the IIS perfectly

The browsers located on machines that are belong to the same domain of the IIS Server can reach the website with no problems. However, the browsers on machines belonging to a different domain can not reach the website. These browsers are able to see the IIS Welcome page but failed to see the Web site located on this same IIS.

The IIS is on server "MurasalatServer" under domain MLSD

IIS have 2 website: Default Web Site, and Murasalat website.

Browsers of machines belonging MLSD domain can see the Murasalat website whenever http://MurasalatServer is put on the browser URL. But typing  http://MurasalatServer on the browser URL belonging to MOL domain, it will redirect to the IIS Welcome page, as appearing on following picture:

The problem appears despite that PCs can communicate with other domain PC.

So why I can not let the browser on MOL access the MurasalatServer IIS "Murasalat" website?

Contact your system admin for assistance and explain what you are trying to do.

System Admin saying that the problem is related to the IIS configuration. That is why I am asking.

What about if I delete all the sites other than the Murasalat website from the IIS?

This is an ASP support forum not IIS support.  Your original posts is vague at best and we only know what you post.  The original post clearly states that users on a different domain are not able to access the site while users in the current domain can access the site.  To me, that indicates your system admin needs to get involved. 

As far as I can tell, you are asking the wrong audience.  You need support from your system admin or IIS.

Have you restricted access to the site (other than turning on Windows auth) in anyway?  Have you tried enabling anonymous authentication to see if the other domain users can reach the site?  Doing this simple test will tell you right away if your system admin needs to get involved or you have a design bug.

I don't see how this is a coherent solution but then again I cannot see your system, app, or configuration.

Hi,

It seems the incoming request is directed to the default web site rather than to the site you want. Double check your "bindings" (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/chrad/2010/01/24/understanding-iis-bindings-websites-virtual-directories-and-lastly-application-pools/)

If you need further help https://forums.iis.net/ could be a better place as it seems on the IIS side.
