Authentication login?



Authentication login? booner

iis security: I've written a web application (using ASP) and sporadically we get a login
dialog asking for username, password and domain (this is not a web form that
I created for logging in). The web server is IIS 5.0 running on a Windows
2000 box.

Can someone point me at what might be causing this?

Under the Internet Information Services applet in the control panel, I
clicked on the properties of my web application and then clicked on the
Directory Security tab then chose the Edit button under authentication
control ... the only box that is checked is 'Integrated Windows
authentication'.

Is that what you were after?

what authentication level has been set on the application?

Yes.
IE prompts for user credentials when you are using Integrated
Authentication.
If your application does not need privileged access you may check the
Anonymous access under Authentication control and disable the Integrated
Authentication.

If Privileged access is the requirement, the prompting issue can be
minimised to an extent. Refer KB article 258063 for details.

I will investigate the referenced KB article.

The problem is that this login dialog does not always come up but very
sporadically. o I'm trying to figure all of the possibilities that bring up
this dialog. I do not know of a way in my ASP code to make such a dialog
come up. So I'm guessing its a web server or browser setting.
