ASP.NET WebSite: Permission Issue

Hi All,

I have installed an ASP.NET application under a web site.

ASP.NET application uses an Impersonation Account, specified in Web.Config.

Authentication mode is set to Windows and anonymous access is disabled (deny
="?").

While accessing the Web Site (Web App) it prompts for User Name and
Password.

However, the application works only for me ( I had installed it ) and does
not allow any one else to view the app.

What could be wrong?

Any pointer or help?

Thanks in advance

What is the full status code that you get? It will be a 401.#. Need to
know that to tell what it might be.

It just prompts standard dialog asking user to enter user name and password
continuously.
 
If it prompts then its good becos u are using Windows Auth..
But after they enter their username and passowrd do they get it?
Can you post your web.config?

Remember that impersonation only applies to application code. What's probably occurring is that the
impersonated account does not have sufficient access to an application resource (not a resource
being referenced via code) and that is why the authentication dialog is being displayed.

No. Even after entering the User Name and Password, they cant get in.

The only person who can get in is me...and I had installed the application.

I am wondering, whether Web Site is allowing me in just because I installed
the application.

Does the installation type (Just for me, or For Everyone) matter in this
case?

I had created WebSite using IISWeb.VBS and copieds Wep App file using Setup
project (Not web setup).

I installed it in silent mode.

Web.Config cotains...

Authetication Mode: Windows

<deny users="?">
<allow users="*">

But it should happen for all users...

However, application works fine for me...

The only difference is that I had installed the application.

Can you get an Ethereal trace from a remote attempt? If you can and you can
post it, I can look at it and tell you what's up.

Which could mean that you're the owner of all the web app resources and that no one else has been
provided sufficient permissions to access those resources.
