interdev_programming thread: Web Project Needs Authentication Methods Enabled


Message #1 by "Kirsten Czupryna" <kirsten_czupryna@l...> on Tue, 18 Feb 2003 22:44:02
> HI again - just wanted to let people know I solved my own problem. For 
the record, in case anyone else has had this problem, here is what I 
learned:

If you want to change permissions in Internet Services Manager for a web 
project, you must rightclick on the folder represented on the LEFT side of 
the screen - this is the console. After that, changing permissions in the 
properties window is self-explanatory. BUT when you finish, you must pay 
attention and make sure you click OK twice for both screens you had to 
open in order to set the permsissions (you know how those Windows boxes 
open on top of each other?)If you just click the second screen and forget 
the first, the changes don't take effect. 

Anyhoo, this seemed to be the solution to my problems. Thanks for reading!
Kirsten


Hi all - I have started an interdev project and everything went along 
s> moothly until I tried to view the first ASP page of the project - I got 
a 
4> 03 error, so I went to the folder for the directory  in Internet 
Services 
M> anager, and changed permissions to allow scripts and executables. 
I> 'm still not sure if this is correct, because while I was playing 
around 
w> ith the asp permissions problem, I must have altered something else - 
b> ecause now I can't open my current project at all. 

> I get the following message in a Microsoft Development Environment alert 
b> ox:
"> Unable to open web project, the web server does not appear to have any 
a> uthentication methods enabled. The server has asked for user 
a> uthentication but did not send a WWW-Authentication header"
I> 'm not sure how to fix the problem without causing even more chaos!
W> here should I start? What did I mess up while trying to fix the other 
p> roblem? I'm afraid to rightclick on my server and start playing with 
p> ermissions unless I'm sure that's the correct way. 

> I will say that I've got other visinterdev projects that do successfully 
o> pen, so this is clearly an isolated problem. 

> Thanks in advance for your assistance!
