Hi Dave, thank you for answering.
The scenario for this is basically a windows xp user from the internet,
authenticating to the IIS server(stand alone) to access a virtual directory
on a website.
The IIS server is configured not to accept anonymous requests and "basic
authentication(clear text) is selected.
I created a test user account with standard user privileges and when
prompted for a user name and password(through Internet explorer), I get an
"access denied" (Even with the appropiate ACLS - full access- for the
physical folder of the test user)
If instead I use an administrator account to login to the same virtual
directory, i get through with no problem.
I hope my question is clearer.
Thanks again.

Have you tried to authenticate as the test user by adding either the domain
or machine name in fron of the account (domain\username or
machinename\username)?
Sometimes this is required.

Don't see what you're looking for? Try a search.
