IIS5 website directory permissions

[Crommm]

We have secured an individual directory within a website so that only authorised users may access it. We've done this using the NTFS permissions on the physical folder, setting the permissions on the folder from IIS and then adding the user group to the 'log in locally' setting of the security policy.

What happens is that some workstations can login fine using the supplied u/n and p/w but others cannot and the difference is in the dialogue that appears to users. If when they try to access the directory, a dialogue box with 3 textboxes in it opens - username, password and domain - they cannot get access. But if the dialogue has 2 textboxes in it opens - username and password then they get on with no trouble at all.

I can't seem to find any correlation which would explain why certain machines make a 3-textbox appear and others make a 2-textbox appear.

If anyone can give me any pointers where to look to solve this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks all,

Ben

Did you check the client stations setup. Check properties for the service: Client for Microsoft Networks. Is log on to domain checked on? I have noticed this behavior using RRAS and logging on to network shares on our domain.

Hi

This looks indeed like a problem on the clients PC's who gets the three field login screen. Also you don't need to get in that far with security, just setting the appropiate NTFS settings of the directory you want to secure is enough.

Ben,

If you're still out there, I am trying to setup a similar group to access FTP folders. I need to give that group rights to logon locally. How do I do that ? Can you help ?
