Greetings all!

I'm having a little trouble with an application of my that access a
specific web folder on my Windows 2003 Standard machine running IIS
6.0.

Allowing Anonymous Access to the web folder in no longer an options,
but when it is enabled, my application has no problem accessing it.
Of cource, when I disable it the application has no access.

My question is, how can I find out which user account my application
uses to access that web folder? I'm currently running my application
as administrator, which of course, has full permissions to the web
folder, but the application I am running can not.

Is there a way I can see which users connecting to that web folder,
and getting anonymous access, perhaps a logs file some where?

Thanks for you time,
Paul B

The IIS log file will tell you what user connected. If you see a "-" that
means it was anonymous.
