Opening VSS database from ASP -- iis security

We have 2 VSS databases. First is located on the same server as IIS and
second is on another machine. While I can open the first one from the ASP
using the following script:
oVSSDb.Open <srcinipath>, <UID>, <password>
trying the same thing on the second throws the following error:

Error Type:
SourceSafe (0x8004D117)
The SourceSafe database path <UID> does not exist. Please select another
database.

The request uses NTLM authentication.
There is no restrictions on the target VSS database directory (everyone.)

Does anybody now what might be the problem and how to deal with it?

Thanks,

Thanks a lot - the Basic Authentication solved the problem.

You are running into a double-hop authentication issue.

The token IIS has does not have permission to access network resources. You
will need to use Kerberos + Delegation -or- use Basic Authentication (which
allows a different type of logon: Network Cleartext IIRC) + SSL
