Application Pool without Anonymous Access

Hello

I want to create a WebService which belongs to a custom application
pool & doesnt allow anonymous access.

I created a user Named "TestUser", and added it to the IIS_WPG group.
Then i created a new application pool "TestAppPool" which is run by
TestUser & Created a WebService that runs under "TestAppPool". At this
stage everything works.

However, when i uncheck "Allow Anoymous Access" - accessing the
service.asmx page works only from the local computer. From a remote
station - accessing "http://myserver/myapp/service.asmx" requires
entering a username & password (which is exactly what i want) - but any
user & pass i try to enter fails.

Please note that if i change the AppPool's user to "Network Service"
(or any other "Built in" account) it works - i can login with any
active directory user.

What's wrong?

Re: Application Pool without Anonymous Access

I re-tested it & if i enter the LOCAL MACHINE's administrator - when
accessing from a remote computer - it does work - but I want to allow
any domain user to log in.

Also forgot to mention that i added NTFS read access to the all the
domain users on the directory, and also tested this with a simple html
document - so its not asp.net related.

Re: Application Pool without Anonymous Access

Does the user account being used to run the app pool have "impersonate a
user after authetication" user right. I believe that is the user right
that's needed (I could be wrong though). Check in the local security policy
of the server.

Re: Application Pool without Anonymous Access

yeah, "Impersonate a client after authentication" is granted to
IIS_WPG, which my user belongs to...

so thats not the problem.

update: the problem happens only if i run the AppPool with a domain
user, any other local user works if he's in IIS_WPG.
