Hi all
I'm trying to set iis 6.0 on a w2k3 server.
My test site's security is anonimous access + integrated windows.
This site is very simple...just one html page.
I have also granted the iis anonimous user account, credentials on the
site's ntfs directory.
After this i am still being asked to enter windows user name and password..
If i skip this part or enter errouneous data i get the 'you arenot
authorized to view this page'
error..
My questions are:
1)Why am i asked at all to enter windows user details?? Isn't it suposed to
be transparent
when security is set to 'integrated windows'?
2)If i discard the windows authentication stage - should not i be recognized
as an anonimous user and still get its permissions?

Thanks alot for your attention
Rea

Hi Rea,

By default if Anonymous Access is enabled it is tried first not the other
way around. If Anonymous account does not have permissions to access the
site, then it will fall back to authentication option if one is selected.

Make sure that IUSR_<server-name> (or other anonymous account that you might
have created and assign it to IIS) must have NTFS permissions on the folder
where the web content is stored. If this user does not have e.g. read NTFS
permissions anonymous account will be denied access to the content (web
site). IIS will always honor the NTFS permissions.

For integrated authentication to work your site has to be in Local Intranet
zone. If it is not computer will not send your credentials to the server.

If user account used in Integrated Authentication (account with which you
are logged on)  does not have NTFS permissions (e.g. read) on the folder
where the web content is again he/she will be denied access to the
website...

I hope this helps,

Mike

Rea,

Is this anonymous account IUSR account or a custom (new) account? Make sure
that account is not disabled. Also check your event logs for any errors.

Hello,
Turn off Integrated windows authentication and check what error IE displays
(be sure to uncheck IE-> Tools-> Internet Options-> Advanced-> Show
friendly http error messages-> reopen the browser). This will tell you why
Anonymous access is failing.

Good luck,
