Anonymous User Password Sync

Hi

In IIS 5 , while creating websites programatically, i set the anonymous pass
sync (Allow iis to control password) property to true, due to which I dont
have to reset the password for anonymous user even if someone changes the
password from user manager under windows. In IIS 6, I repeated the same to
allow IIS to control password for anonymous users. But now I cant find this
property in IIS 7. So far as long as I dont mention username along with the
"password" while setting Anonymous user, the site or virtual directory give
me following error

Error Summary
----------------
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized
You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication
headers.

Detailed Error Information
---------------------------
Module IIS Web Core
Notification AuthenticateRequest
Handler StaticFile
Error Code 0x80070005

Requested URL http://oct23domain1.com:80/admin
Physical Path C:\Program Files\Advanced Communications\Hosting Controller
7C\Web
Logon Method Not yet determined
Logon User Not yet determined


Most Likey Causes:
---------------------

No authentication protocol (including anonymous) is selected in IIS.
Only integrated authentication is enabled, and a client browser was used
that does not support integrated authentication.
Integrated authentication is enabled and the request was sent through a
proxy that changed the authentication headers before they reach the Web
server.
The Web server is not configured for anonymous access and a required
authorization header was not received.
The "configuration/system.webServer/authorization" configuration section may
be explicitly denying the user access.


Can someone please tell me how can I avoid giving password for every
anonymous user that I set. I have a scenario where I can't give passwords.
