Re: IE prompts for a password when using anonymous authentication

Thanks for your feedback David.

Since posting my original message, I discovered that the problem was caused
by having ASP.NET validation controls on the page and them requiring a
particular file permission into the ASPNET_CLIENT folder (this is through
Windows and not IIS). Adding the List Folder Contents permission for the
Everyone user fixed the problem.

It sounds like you have authorization enabled for your ASP.Net web
application within ASP.Net

When you hit cancel and the site works as expected, that tells me anonymous
authentication is working just fine from IIS. And since you say that IIS
only has anonymous authentication enabled, it tells me that something else
is triggering the user login. Something like ASP.Net URL Authorization.

Hi everyone,

I have developed an ASP.NET web application and have deployed it to a
production server. The web application has only a single page with the
page_load event having no code in it. The virtual directory in IIS is
setup
with anonymous access only. The user that virtual directory is setup to
run
under has administrative privilages on the server.

Whenever I visit the deployed site I get prompted for a username and
password. If I enter my username and password the page I was trying to
access
is not displayed and I get prompted for a username and password again. If
I
press cancel, the page is displayed and the site works as expected.

I've spent a long time investigating this issue and have been unable to
get
to the bottom of it. It's extremely important that I fix this issue as it
is
affecting a live site.

Has anyone experienced this issue themselves? Or perhaps know how to fix
it?

Any help that can be passed on would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Adam Ainger
