Can't disable Windows Authentication? [SOLVED]
-
Hello, We enabled Windows Authentication for our development website a few weeks ago. Now, after I disable it, the site shows only the 401 page:
Quote:
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
It doesn't offer a login box. It doesn't do anything no matter what URL you try to load, including the home index page, except show that 401 message. I disabled Windows Authentication on the website and on the server. What could I be missing? CLARIFICATION: I disabled Windows Authentication through the IIS Administration plug-in in Administrative Tools. I disabled it at the server level and at the website level. If this is being caused by an overlooked application setting, which would that be? SOLUTION: While I disabled Windows Authentication, I failed to re-enable Anonymous Authentication. Doh! Now it works. :)
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Did you enable some other form of authentication? If not, why would you expect to get a login box/page?

I'm not expecting a login box, just pointing out that none appears, for completeness.

Then, at a guess, you're using some form of authorization restrictions. Without any enabled authentication methods, all users will be anonymous, and will only have access to resources that are explicitly marked as available to anonymous users. :)
