Re: cannot view web pages after transferring files to web server

You can't use Windows Integrated like that. You'll need Basic

I forgot to mention that I don't have forms-based authentication - it is
only
Integrated Windows authentication. We have a LAN, and Active Directory
accounts etc. Database access is via specified groups of users.

What we want is - if a logged-in Windows user has database rights, they
should be able to see data using Internet Explorer and the web forms.
Right
now, even domain admins with full rights can't open the web pages after
transferring to the http server. No problems on my local machine using the
asp.net in-built development server.

Thanks

This will solve for us a number of problems. I have developed a website
on my
local machine (part of a LAN) using Visual Web Developer, with ASP.NET
2.0.
Backend is a SQL Server 2000 database. All queries and webforms work
beautifully on my local machine (file system web project).

However, when I copy this website to a virtual directory on an IIS
server, I
keep getting permissions denied error, when I try to access any aspx
page on
the website.

This is what I have done:
1. I have created an ASPNET login for SQL Server and gave it rights to
the
database.

2. I am using Windows Authentication (IIS Directory Security tab) and
Anonymous access is Unchecked.

3. There is <identity impersonate="true" /> line in the web.config
file.

4. Even though I have Windows authentication checked in IIS, I have the
following in the web.config file:
<authentication>
<forms name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" loginUrl="logincs.aspx" />
</authentication>

Don't know what the above means - it was generated as part of my using
the
ASP.NET configuration in Visual Web Developer.

5. aspnetdb database is a SQL server 2005 database, on the same machine
as
IIS.

6. I have tried logging in as many different types of users (with full
rights and so on) but I cannot open a single page on the machine with
the IIS
server.

Pleas help if you can -

Thanks

Jay
