    Hi,

    I posted this to the microsoft.public.inetserver.iis group, but then found
    this one and thought it might be a more appropriate place.

    here's the problem. It's fairly long......and it is seriously starting to
    annoy me too! :-)

    IIS5 - Windows 2000 Server

    I've created a new website called Systems Team. It's running on port 80,
    same port as the default site, so I've given it a host header of
    systems.test.co.uk. The bit after systems is our domain name.

    I've created a DNS entry in our test.co.uk zone called Systems pointing to
    the IP of the server.

    No problems so far. All website access is fine using a URL of
    http://systems.test.co.uk.

    Now, when I restrict permissions on the folder that the website maps to it
    all goes pear shaped. I have permissions set so that only Domain Admins have
    rights to the folder. The website is configured for Integrated
    Authentication and Basic Authentication. Basic is so that we can access it
    if we're not logged into a PC as ourselves.

    Now when I go to systems.test.co.uk, I get prompted for a username and
    password. If I enter my details which I'm already logged on with, I get in
    fine. So for some reason, the integrated authentication isn't working.

    Now if I remove this new site, add a Virtual Directory under the default
    site, so I just reference the site by http://servername/systems I get in
    with no problems.

    Soooo...it seems to be a problem with using Host Headers and permissions on
    the website folder.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Cheers,

    Adam
