Hi,

i have a IIS 6 on Windows 2003.

On one of the websites i host, they have one ASP they use for entering data.
They wanted to secure that one page. So i made a user with a password, then
in the Windows Explorer on the security settings of that ASP i removed the
IIS_USER and added the newly created user with read and execute access. So
far so good, it worked for months. Now, from one day on another they can't
login anymore. Strange enough, their "master" account, i.e. the account they
use for ftp-upload of the complete site, is still allowed access.

So i thought it was something with that user. I first removed his rights on
that page and put them back, but that didn't help. I then completely deleted
that user and re-created it, but that didn't help either. Then i created a
completely new user, with a completely different name, and gave him the
rights on that page. No access.

Then i made a testpage on my own website, gave those two new users
permission on it and removed the anonymous user, but i could't get access.
Then i thought: let's try that "master" account on my testpage, and when i
added it to the security settings for the page, and tried to open the page,
it wouldn't work either.

So i'm kind of stuck with the fact that the pages that are already secured
still remain, but that i can't add new users to them.

The only thing that changed a.f.a.i. know are the updates that i installed
through Windows Update. Could there be a problem with that? i.e. that one of
the updates changed a setting?

Any ideas?

Thx in advance!

Mr. T
