iis security : IIS 6 Integrated Authentification problem

Hi,
we have a IIS 6 website running that uses Integrated Authentification.
When we run the IIS service under the Network Service user everything runs
fine, but if we switch user we are propmted for username and password when
we use the website - and even if a valid user/pass is provided, it's not
acknowledged.
Is there some special setting and/or user membership I must set, in order to
get Integrated Authentification running with another user than Network
Service?

Cheers,
Thomas

When you use Integrated Authentication with Customized AppPool Identity and
your server is in a domain, you need to read this part of the documentation
on Custom AppPool Identity:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/standard/ca_cfgwrkridentity.asp

What is happening is that you start using Kerberos, which imposes conditions
on the worker process identity. Network Service is an identity that works
by default; you will need to do some additional configuration to have it
work with a custom process identity.

Basically, your choices are:
1. Configure Kerberos correctly
2. Fallback to use NTLM

Hi Thomas,

It is appreciated you tell me which account you used for the application pool identity. Since this modification is the only one you performed in IIS,
after that the warning window always poped up, I'd suggest you can check the security log to see whether there is any permission denied
information regarding this logon issue. You can also send the log to me, I will check them for you. My email address is: v-wdxu@online.microsoft.com
(remove "online" which is used to avoid spam).

Furthermore, in integrated widnows authentication scenario, when one user logons into the website, the thread, serving for this request, will run in
the logon windows account. His access to the server side resources will be limited by this account, so I think there is no need for you to change the
network service account to other ones for the application pool.

Look forward to your reply! I am standing by to be of assistance.

Best regards,

Did you add the custom user to the IIS_WPG group?
