Running IIS on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition server, I have
somehow developed quite a problem.

I suspect it was after changing some permissions somewhere that this
occured, but now i have been unable to reverse the problem.

The problem is, that at first one of a sudden, every domain hosted on my IIS
server started asking for a username/password from every page that in some
way used ASP.

If I entered my administrator username/password i was granted access, but if
I entered IUSR_NS2 (NS2 is the machine name) I wasn't granted access.

After hours and hours of recearching this problem on misc IIS resource
pages, I realized that the problem was about the IUSR_NS2 account not having
"read" permissions on the source files for the pages..
-That would make perfect sense, IF it wasn't so that IUSR_NS2 infact DOES
have access to every file and folder on all the hosted domains.

To make it even more strange, one single website worked perfectly (my
company's own website). But the thing is, that this one website is setup with
identical settings and permissions as every other hosted site.
Also i have two domains pointing to this domain, for example:
www.domain1.com
aand
www.domain2.com
were both sent to the same IP by my DNS server, and that was the IP that IIS
was using for the working site...
-but if I entered using www.domain1.com it works fine, using www.domain2.com
it prompts for username/password.
Identical UP, identical setup, identical everything, yet different outcome.


Later after desperately changing permissions back and forth, I am now stuch
with a
"HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error"-error.
It's a blank white error-page, no details, no nothing, just that error
message.

Again, it is ONLY the pages using either ASP or ASP.NET that gets theese
errors. plain html-pages works fine. (and no password is asked for plain html
pages either)




Really... I am completely lost now, please assist me in finding a solution -
I'm sure my inbox will be full of complaints by tomorrow morning Sad

I should note, that in a desperate attempt to resolve this, I even tried
adding "Everyone" with "Full Control" to the entire drive the files are
hosted on.

It didn't resolve the problem. (And I removed it again after the test, for
obvious security reasons.)

I'd enable failure/success auditing of everything except process tracking,
then enable filesystem auditing on directories containing your content.

I'd also check into re-syncing your IUSR/IWAN account passwords as this can
also result public sites not being available to anonymous browsers.
Microsoft's knowledge base has a couple related articles depending on
whether you're on IIS 5 or IIS 6.

How do I enable auditing?
Also what are the default passwords of the IUSR/IWAN Accounts?
Admin password, or nothing?

Regardless, I have attempted to manually reset the IUSR password to 1234,
and then manually tell a site to use the IUSR account with the password 1234
also. no result Sad

By the way we're running IIS 6.0 (Thought it was standard in Windows Server
2003, thats why I didn't mention it before)

We have tried the suggestions without luck.
We have pretty much given up, and have now opened a critical support case
with Microsoft.
Hopefully they will be able to solve this problem fast.

The IUSR and IWAM accounts have their passwords randomly set by the system,
so there's no real way to find out what they are without changing them
somehow.

Go to Local Security Policy within Administrative Tools, and then drill down
to Local Policies, Audit Policy. You can then set the audit levels from
there.

Another thing you could try which will give you more information about what
is happening, is try running filemon
(http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml) while you make your
attempt. It chucks out a LOT of information, but it does give full
information about which files are generating errors, and which user context
the request is being processed as.

Sounds like the permissions are screwed up for asp.dll etc. ...
