Author Access requires password

My IIS 6 on Server 2003 worked fine for a month. Then,
all of a sudden, it began prompting for a user ID and
password and no id password combinations worked,
including the admin.

The system had not been touched for 3 days prior to this
beginnning to happen. The logs show a 403.3 and 403.5
errors when trying to access the site.

I have checked NT settings and all the settings on IIS
necessary to get it going, to no avail. In the process, I
changed teh password on IUSR_computername on NT and the
IIM manager.

Any sugestions would be appreciated. Norton has not
detented any virus on this machine.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

The 403.3 indicates that you have not allowed write access to your
directory and the 403.5 tells us that someone is trying to access your site
wih a client certificate that isn't using 128bit encryption.
403.3 - Write access forbidden.
403.5 - SSL 128 required.
If you are trying to use annonymous authentication make sure your IUSR
account isn't locked out, and that your passwords are synced.


Best regards,
Jason M. Murray [MSFT]

I made a mistake. The logs show 401 3 5 (not 403) for
each attempt to access the site.

How does one check to make sure the IUSR account is not
locket out?

In teh process of trying to get the site accessable over
the past few days, I have changed many setting all over.
In the process, i now cannot access my event viewer for
system and applications. Is there a way to reset all
settings to the original?

Thanks.

401.3 - Unauthorized due to ACL on resource.

Check if related user has NTFS permission to access the files/folders.

Yes, IUSR_Coputername has guest access -- read, read &
execute, write access to the Inetpub/wwwroot folder.

How does one make sure that an account isn't locked
(IUSR_computername)? The system keeps asking for id and
password and none of the id passwords work -- including
the admin id.

In this case, I would suggest you try filemon and regmon from
sysinternals.com. run in on the server, test browse you site, then trace the
log file to track down any access related errors.
