IIS 6 Windows Authentication Issue

Question

The issue is I can't view the page using Window Authentication .

This is my steps.

I created a website in my server Windows Server 2003 IIS 6 with .Net Framework 2.

Then Inside the root folder, I created a folder. Let's call it "FolderA".

In "FolderA", I created a page. Let's call it "fileA.aspx".

The website is running fine. As I turn on the Anonymous Access .

But for "fileA.aspx", I need to turn on the Window Authentication coz I don't want everyone to go in and view that page.

So, I select "FolderA", go to Properties ,

So, I turn off the Anonymous Access and make sure Window Authentication is turned on.

Then I browse from my PC. It prompted me the Login Diaglog Box.

I key in my credentials I used to log in for the server and I can access the page.

That is working fine.

However, when I view it from the server itself, it prompted me the Login Diaglog Box.

But when I key in my credentials, it is saying "Access Denied".

I even tried using Administrator credentials.

It is still access denied.

Is there any setting to set or anything to change in web.config?

Review event logs on the server to see if you happen to hit this.

Answer 2

Did you allow authenticated users and deny not authenticated users?

<authorization>
 <allow users="*"/>
 <deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
