Strange 401.1 Errors



Strange 401.1 Errors NetAdmin NO[at]SPAM liginsurance.com

iis security: I am trying to have users use their standard windows login information
to login to a website. However, For certain members I get a 401.1
error page. It seems to be linked to the user because it happens
because of the user logged on to the computer. As in, if I put in an
administrative username and password into the pop up box it still
gives a 401.1 error. I have gone as far as to add one of the users to
the administrators group.
Server is running
Win 2k (IIS 5.0)
Using either basic authentication or integrated windows authentication
seems to effect two users out of the 10 who try. User accounts are
Identical and have the same priveledges as other 8.
But the 2 users get a "HTTP 401.1 - Unathorized: Logon Failed"
Please help!

Thanks

Mark,

Looks like they are not allowed based on NTFS permissions.

If you have set Basic and Integrated authentication the
basic is the login box you are getting. When that fails
integrated kicks in. This means that the credentials of
the currently logged in user are supplied.

When that fails you receive the 401.1

Do these users have the correct rights and privledges to
logon to the system?

They seem to be set up with the same rights as the other users. However,
If i do remove basic authentication it still forces people to input
password. I can never get in without typing the password, that would
however be an optimal situation.


Thanks

I made the changes specified in the KB article, still to no success.
One of the users is particularly absent minded and continues to type in
the wrong password. After typing in the wrong one, it pops up the
username and password box again, but when she types in the correct one
is when it gives the 401.1 Error. I didtn know if that might help at
all.


Thanks
