HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource

[pvbangera]

Hi all,

I have a web application deployed on a machine (TESTMACHINE) having Win XP 2002 SP3 and IIS 5.1. I have few users (U1, U2) created as Local Users in that machine having Administrator rights. The application's Anonymous Access is disabled and Integrated Windows Authentication is checked.

Now, I fail to access this application through some other machine using the user (TESTMACHINE\U1 etc) created on TESTMACHINE. It keeps on asking the username and password. Finally, if I escape entering username and password, it gives me this:

HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource
Internet Information Services

How can I get access to the said application without enabling Anonymous Access?

Please advise

Looks like the user is authenticating to IIS fine but.. the NTFS permissions on the page/file deny the authenticated user from viewing it.

Try adding the group everyone with read access to the folder. You then know that it's down to permissions if it works and can diagnose from there.

Remember you maye need to ference domain e.g. domain\username...
