IIS Authentication Problem

[bglynn]

I recently purchased a domain name for the site and configured the dns for it. Now for some reason when ever I access the site either from the IP or the Domain Name (localhost still works) I encounter a nt authentication pop-up. Before the domain name setup I was able to access the page via IP without any problems. I have anonymous access enabled, so i don't know whats going on. Can anyone explain where this came from and how to get rid of it. I am a IIS newbie so I am not sure if this is something that normally happens or not

I am running IIS on win XP pro.

I suppose that your computer also now is part of a Win2k domain. Check the IUSR_.. and IWAM user accounts. They are the one that are involved in anonymous access.
Looks like your computer are dealing now with different such accounts, the domain ones.
To change the passwords for those you have to run these scripts:
Cscript adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WAMUserName domain\IWAM_uniquename

Cscript adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/WAMUserPass "userpassword"

You can keep the existing ones accounts, or create new ones, and then you need to give them the right "log on locally" too.

So, just be sure that those accounts are known by your IIS and IIS knows the right user account and password (using those scripts) Gia Betiu
