If you see an error message that indicates that the login has failed for NT
AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS, this indicates that the identity on the Web server does
not have any network credentials and is attempting to access the remote
computer.
Identify which account is being used by the Web application for remote
resource access and confirm that it has network credentials. If the Web
application is impersonating, this requires either Kerberos delegation (with
suitably configured accounts) or Basic authentication at the Web server.

See

for more info.
