Hi

I have a directory under the route of a web site which has anonymous access
disabled and basic authentication selected. The folder has Read & Execute,
List Folder Contents and Read permissions for the user I want to log on via
http.

It just doesn't work. I get a 401.3 web page error. I've recreated the user
account, restarted the application pool and website. Surely I don't need to
restart IIS? What else can I do?

Many thanks
Andrew

401.3 indicates that the user you logged into IIS does not have rights on
the resource requested.

So, please indicate what user is actually authenticated to IIS as well as
the ACLs on the resource.

FileMon from www.sysinternals.com can show you what user tried to access
what file on the server, and it should be clear what to do at that point.

My guess is that you are either:
1. not logged into the server with who you think you are, or
2. the resource does not actually have ACLs to give access to the user you
logged in with.

Are you sure that there are no images in the page that is outside this
restricted directory? All the content/component in this page should be inside
this restricted directory.

You are absolutely right. I had file references outside the restricted
directory. I shall use FileMon next time something like this happens to me
so I don't need to rely on my memory.

Thanks
Andrew
