Anonymous Login Failure
|

| seeker5 2005-05-20, 6:03 pm |
| I have two Windows Server 2003 machines running IIS. Both use anonymous
login, both use the default anonymous user accounts, both are Domain
Controllers. The problem is that one allows anonymous login without issue,
while the other prompts for a user name and password. If you type in
iusr_computername without a password it works just fine, but it always
prompts for the username and password. I have gone through the settings
side by side with the other server and can find no discrepancies, I have
tried changing the user and then changing it back, I have checked the
permissions and they are identical. Nothing seems to work.
If anyone knows the cure, please email me at cswartwo@dumac.com

| Mm... without password?
Can you post the IIS log entries here?
Also, you can try Filemon (sysinternals.com) to trace the access error.

| If you type in iusr_computername without a password and it works, then it
either means:
1. Anonymous login works without asking for a username/password -- you are
looking at a client-side configuration problem. First question is to give
the exact URL for each server -- are you using dotted IP, servername with
dots, WINS names, etc.
2. Anonymous user account is actually blank password but it is not blank in
the metabase, so it is out of sync -- correct this by synchronizing the
anonymous user account/password in applicable node in IIS metabase with the
real IUSR's password.
