Security Question IIS
-
I have an ASP.net application that runs behind a firewall on a LAN so I am planning on using basic authentication w/out Secure Sockets Layer due to little or no worry of attackers. I am experiencing something and I am not sure whether the problems lies in the differences between OS version, IIS version or something else. This is the problem I am having: I currently have my development machine setup as a web server running IIS 5.1, I currently deployed my ASP.Net application onto an Windows 2000 Advanced Server and it runs fine on the server but I am experiencing differences in the basic authentication off the IIS snap ins between the two machines. Whenever you open internet explorer and invoke any page in my website on my local machine it pops up a window and asks you to enter signon and login, I set up permissions exactly the same on my local machine and the server and when you invoke the web page being hosted by the server instead of a window popping up for user to enter thier pword and login it automatically redirects the browser to a page that says "You are not authorized to view this page". As far as I know the settings on my local machine's IIS and the servers IIS are the same, any ideas why they arent behaving the same? Thanks in advance I have been banging my head on the wall all day. :wtf: Frank

I've always had this same problem when security isn't set up correctly in either my web.config or the virtual directory. I would bet that the issue has to do with security settings on the virtual directory set up for the new server. ------------------------------------- I have no prayer for that. - Stark, Farscape
