Hi i am planning to host my nextjs application in IIS and i'm following your tutorial. My question is, how to deploy nextjs application with socket.io in IIS?

[lextm]

Socket.IO with Express works flawlessly on IIS/HttpPlatformHandler, so I assume any issues you might hit are just bugs of Next.js.

Hi, I want to retrieve the authenticated user in IIS using Next.js. How can I do that?

[lextm]

If you mean you want to retrieve who is the authenticated user when your IIS site enables Windows authentication properly, then you need to set forwardWindowsAuthToken to true,

https://learn.microsoft.com/iis/extensions/httpplatformhandler/httpplatformhandler-configuration-reference#configuration-attributes

On Next.js side, you can extract the user information out of the header X-IIS-WindowsAuthToken.

thanks for the tutorial, worked pretty fine to me.
but could you help me with a problem?
I'm using nextjs 14 with AppRouter and I have an api route (app/api/my-route/route.ts) that doesnt work on iis, when my code calls that route, it returns 500 not found, but it works locally
any ideas on what is causing it?

Hi, I am planning to host my Next.js application on IIS, and I’m following your tutorial. My question is, how can I deploy a Next.js application with the output set to 'standalone'? The node_modules folder has too many files, which complicates my deployment process. Could you guide me on building and deploying the application with IIS?
