I get the above error when I try to create a new project.using Interdev 6.0
and the message occurs when it wants a user name and password, but none of
my passwords work. Seemed to work OK before i installed Symantec Internet
Security!
I get another error also, "You are not authorized to perform the current
operation."

Hello,
It appears that Symantec antivirus is behaving like a proxy server, and
preventing the NTLM authentication information from being passed to the web
server. You can disable Symantec to confirm that this is indeed the case.

As a workaround, you can disable Windows Integrated authentication in IIS
and enable Basic. To do this, open the IIS Manager (Administrative tools->
Internet services manager), right click on the Default website->
Properties-> Directory Security-> Edit button in the Anonymous access and
authentication control section-> Uncheck Integrated and select Basic.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Thankyou. Running Interdev 6.0, I was unable to create a new project
and kept getting "NTLM authentication failed...". Or I would get "You
are not authorized to perform the current operation". I changed to
Basic Authentication and was able to create a new project, but I am now
worried that user names and passwords will be sent over the internet. I
have Internet Security (Symantec) installed. What are the real risks
with Basic Authentication?

Basic auth send user credentail in plaintext mode, hence if someone get
sniff the packet, they will know your password. It is always recommended to
deploy SSL + basic auth to avoid such risk.

Wab,
As Bernard pointed out, you must use SSL when having Basic authentication
enabled on the site. Here are some links that will help you configure SSL:
