The Virtual Directory page allows you to create a new Virtual directory on a Web Server. You can create the virtual either on any domain that you have administrative access to. Usually you'll create the site on LocalHost. You can also pick a specific Web Site if you're running IIS.

You then provide the name of your virtual and the physical path that it maps to. Note that only top level virtuals (off the Web root) can be created at this time.

By default the Virtual is created with a few specific settings:

• The virtual is created as an application
  
• It has Windows Authentication enabled
  
• It has Basic Authentication enabled
  
• The default docs are set to default.aspx, default.asp, default.htm
  

These are the defaults, but you can override these in the XML file after you exit the application - specific properties exist in the configuration that control these defaults.

      <AuthAnonymous>true</AuthAnonymous>
