| I have a problem at work with IIS. I have an application sitting on a webserver with IIS 5.0. Today, I tried to alter the permissions of the application's folders so that a user authentication box would quit coming up when I pull up the application onli
ne. I basicly want anyone in the world to be able to access the site. I don't know a lot about permissions, but after I made changes which I thought were making the site available to everyone, now I don't get the user authentication box. Instead, I aut
omatically get an error page saying that I'm not aloud to access this page. It no longer even checks for my username and password, it simply tells me that I don't have access. Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix it? This is very important
at work and I'm lost. Thanks!

| What are the NTFS permissions of the files and folder IIS uses?
The IUSR must be able to read (and execute if they are asp files)

Obvious answer: Undo the changes you made.
Since we don't know what you did to "alter the permissions of the
application's folders" it's kind of hard to tell you how to fix it.
The proper way to what you wanted was to change the authentication for
the site from Windows Integrated to Allow Anonymous, which you'll
still want to do. My guess is you removed permissions you shouldn't
have, and normally you'd want the IUSR and IWAM accounts to have READ
access to the folders and files in question.
