Re: IE prompts for a password when using anonymous authentication



Thanks for your feedback Ken.

I'm new to ASP.NET - does the application need to the <identity/> tag when
anonymous access is used?

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.

The virtual directory does not run under a user account. Are you talking
about the account that IIS is configured to impersonate for anonymous
requests?

Additionally, is your ASP.NET application configured to impersonate this
account (via <identity impersonate="true" /> setting)?

Lastly, can you post the relevant IIS logfiles?

Cheers
