访问本地主机时 IIS 要求输入用户名和密码

Question

I have installed IIS on Windows XP SP3 . When I want to access localhost from my browser the authentication window appears and asks for user name and password. Anonymous access is enabled for IUSR_ user and this user has full control permission on wwwroot folder. Any help is appreciated in advance.

You've set your web site up to use Integrated Windows (NTLM) Authentication, which is supported by default in IE but not in Firefox. Firefox requires you to permit NTLM on a site-by-site basis.

This page explains how to enable NTLM and remove the login boxes in Firefox.

Basically, you need to type about:config in the address bar and add the hostname to the list of comma-separated values on the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris setting.

Let's say you have two sites that you want to enable NTLM authentication on: http://www.foo.com/ and http://www.bar.com/ . You would need to set network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris to www.foo.com, www.bar.com .

If you want your site to be accessible to anonymous users, you need to make sure that your IUSR_xxx account has at least read permission to the files that your web site is serving at the file system level. You can do this via Windows Explorer. I think you also need to grant list permission on the parent directories.
