I'm not that well versed in IIS, but we've run into a problem that I can't
seem to figure out.
We have a very simple site that was created in ColdFusion (I know...I
know...) that was working just fine...until...a co-worker tried to undo IIS
lockdown...as you all probably know...this caused many problems...but I
thought we had fixed them all until I noticed this page on a CF site was
being prompted by Windows for a login. It's really wierd...the only page
that gets the windows login prompt is login.cfm...none of the other .cfm
pages get the prompt. And the login.cfm page is a simple form with a
textbox...not much code at all. I tried renaming the file...no luck...tried
deleting the file and recreating it...no luck...and there are other pages
that have the same type of code (simple form) and that don't get the prompt.
So, I guess my question is...why would just one page of a particular site
cause the windows prompt? I checked the permissions and they look correct.
I know this has to do with something that happened when the co-worker tried
to undo IIS lockdown. Can anyone give any advice...I've been reading from
Google...and reading and reading...
Web Server Stats: 2000 server; SP4
IIS: 5.0
ColdFusion: MX

Any help is greatly appreciated!
