Authentication Issue

[lpatnaik]

Hi All,

I have a web application running under "Windows Authentication" mode
developed using ASP.NET.
I never had any issues or problems with the authentication on my test
and development machines.

But when I deployed my application on production box.
I am not able to access any aspx files.... rather I am getting a login pop
up saying "Please type your name and password"

I guess it's some thing wrong with the configuration in
machine.config, just a wild guess!!

Though I couldn't get to know what's wrong...
any help will be highly appreciated..

To add more details to my problem.
If I open a browser on my server (where I installed my application) I am
able to see the aspx pages...
but if I am trying from some other machine on the same network/domain.
I get that same popup box.

Thanks a lot in advance,

I don't know if this will help, but verify that your Authentication Methods are set appropriately in IIS (Directory Security tab, and then Edit).

"Basic Authentication" is checked for us. You also need to specify your domain.

Hope this helps.

It has worked. But this was a weird solution. We tried one thousand ways and also compared the configuration of every other thing (iis, system etc) with the other servers where it is working fine, but everything was only perfect. We then re-registered the aspnet_isapi.dll and it started working. Dont know why but thats it....%-)

Thanks for your help,
Regards
