aspx Pages - Account Permissions Requirements

[muzerb]

What are the account requirements for aspx pages to be accessed anonymously on Windows 2003 server?.

When I view my aspx page in a browser locally or remotely I always get prompted for user and password. When I provide credentials for user in the admin group the page displays correctly.

I do not get prompted when viewing .htm files.

I would like to make the aspx pages available anonymously.

Here are my settings:

Directory Security:
Administrators - Full Control
ASP.NET Machine Account - Read & Execute, List, Read
Internet Guest Account - Read & Execute, List, Read
System - Full Control

Virtual Directory Tab:
Read - checked
Execute permissions - Scripts only

Authentication and access control:
Enable anonymous access - checked
User name: IUSR_COMPUTER_NAME

Thank you in advance.

Is Basic Authentication turned off? Do you have the "Allow IIS to control password" checkbox checked?

Your permissions aren't the issue, it's the authentication.

The Basic Authentication box is not chcked.
The "Allow IIS to control password" is not available on 2003.
