3. Add "fastcgi application" with wfastcgi-enable
4. Configure project settings

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "windows_auth",
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.RemoteUserMiddleware',
    'windows_auth.middleware.UserSyncMiddleware',
    # ...
]

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    "windows_auth.backends.WindowsAuthBackend",
    "django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
]

WAUTH_DOMAINS = {
    "<your domain's NetBIOS Name> (EXAMPLE)": {
        "SERVER": "<domain FQDN> (example.local)",
        "SEARCH_SCOPE": "<search scope> (DC=example,DC=local)",
        "USERNAME": "<bind account username>",
        "PASSWORD": "<bind account password>",
    }
}

# optional
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / "static"

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / "media"

5. Generate web.config files with py manage.py createwebconfig -s -m
6. Create new IIS Website from the project files

If you don't need Windows Authentication on your site, skip adding the middleware and authentication backend.
