IUSER Accesing Remote Files
|
|

| Hi all,
I'm using the IUSER to access (reading) files over a network. The files
reside on a remote server, and the IUSER has the necessary
authentication to read the files. But I keep receiving a 401 Access
Denied. What am I doing wrong. Could someone please help me.
Many Thanx
Regards,
Programm3r

| What authentication protocol are you using. Secure authentication
protocols do not allow you to do what you are trying to do without
further configuration because it is considered a security attack
against the remote user.
How are you ensuring that your stated user account is actually
performing the remote data access.
If this is on IIS6, you can look in the IIS log file for the website
to determine the exact nature of the 401 -- to distinguish between
invalid ACLs or invalid user logon, for example -- so that you know
what you need to configure. Otherwise, it's just guessing.
