Deman Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) Hi there,I'm encountering a strange issue with some of our Cisco content is causing IIS to prompt a login box. I'm not quite sure how to explain it really, it's bizzare and I'm not sure whats caused it to do thatThe authentication method we're using is Integrated authentication.Only the Cisco course material is affected, some more than others. I.e. IT Essentials course content prompts a login box for every single page, others rarely (if at all) Other pages such as the download page (and download files), main page, about page etc have no trouble at allI don't believe anything I've changed has caused the webserver to go into a spin. I've moved the site to PHP and setup custom error pages for 404, 401 and 500.Can't see how that can affect things (Cisco content btw is Cisco's own provided content, I haven't touched that)Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Edited September 1, 2008 by Deman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deman Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Well after numerous guess/checks I managed to get it sorted by creating a test IIS site, dumping a copy of the most problematic Cisco content in there, adding authentication, testing and then seeing what's different. Turns out the root of IIS didn't have the authentication method set as well as enable guest access. Never noticed it before because I didn't think it would matter on the root configuration.Anyway after clicking Ok, telling it to overwrite the subsequent folders and then removing the guest account from those folders (heh woops, but meh) It seems to be working fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
