I have installed iis 6.0 on my win 2003 server..

I created a web site and give IUSR_MAchinename account to access web site
with only integrated windows authentication.

I put my files into into wwwroot folder and give the all permission for
iusr_machinename account.

When i try to access the web site It prompts me to enter user credentials..
How can i solve it ?

Integrated only, means that it will not allow anonymous access. If you
are prompted, then the user
you are connecting to does not have NTFS access. checking anonymous
without integrated will allow access(if you have
given read to the files for the iusr account)

Like grego says, it's just a file permissions issue now..

Using Windows explorer, check the Properties >> Security >> and assure that
your website folder has the Internet Guest Account (IUS_machinename)
configured for Read &Execute, List Folder Contents and Read access.

Hi,

IUSR account is typically used for anonymous access (i.e. IIS uses the IUSR
account because the end user has not provided any credentials).

Unless you have to know the IUSR account's password, your current setup is
not going to work.

So:
a) Do you want users to authenticate? If so, then you'll need to give those
users NTFS permissions to the files/folders in your website to allow them to
browse the site
b) Do you want your users to browse anonymously? Then give IUSR acount NTFS
permissions to the files/folders and disable Integrated Windows
Authenticaiton, and enable Anonymous Auth instead.

Cheers
Ken

I have a similar conundrum but I accidently DELETED my IUSR_SERVER user ID!
How do I add it back in?

Thanks!

It should not be necessary to reinstall IIS

IUSR account should be recreated if you restart IISAdmin service:

Hi.

Shame Microsoft.

Now man,don't listen,you need to search,
Sometimes Microsoft are writing lies.
The problem with iis is continues ACL and 405.
Now everything is configured and working,Micorosoft only give information
for what is,they don't resolve it.
Here have 2 more iis communities,search and you will find what problem IIS 6
show me,after i read a Microsoft that they write,lies,and they iis in the
recycle bin

That is it for now.

Goodbye.
