I have an ASP.NET application which is set to use Windows authentication -
relevant section of web.config below:-

    <authentication mode="Windows"/>
    <authorization>
        <deny users="?"/> <!--Deny anonymous users -->
        <allow roles="uksvphpcs053\aristoweb users,uksvphpcs053\aristoweb
configurators"/>
        <deny users="*"/>
    </authorization>

When I run the application from a client PC, I get the log on window, and
enter the logon details. I then get a screen with what I can only think is
random text from the application, though it is, in fact, the connection
string for an Access database the app. accesses! (It is alweays the same
string). If I close the browser and try again, it is OK. I originally thought
the problem was only occuring the first time I accessed the app. after a
rebuild, but I think it is happening either after a rebuild or after a reboot
of the client or server.

Once the problem has occured the once, I can log in and out of the
application repeatedly without the problem recurring.

Is this a known bug, and is there a work-around?
