Index.shtml authentication problems! - 3/14/2004 17:41:28   
Hello All,
IIS5, Windows 2000 Advanced, FP Extensions 2002.
My index page has an include, so it is index.shtml. My main website is open to the public with anonymous/integrated windows security. Anyone can get to it without a password or anything. After a reboot, my index.shtml page is asking for a username/password when anyone tries to browse to it. I got around this by renaming index.shtml to index.html. This works, but of course the include isn't there. I've checked the default document, server authentication(still anonymous/integrated) and NTFS rights on the index.shtml file but I can't seem to open it up without being prompted for authtication. I pulled an older copy of my index.shtml off of tape and replaced the current one and recalculated the web, but no luck. I also removed the FP2002 extensions and extended the web with the 2000 extensions that come with IIS5. Is there something that needs to be done so my server can display .shtml files normally/with no authentication?
Thanks!!
Tyler

It's a server configuration problem. Since the server is not configured to "serve" .shtml files to anonymous browsers, it is defaulting to a LAN mode and prompting everybody for their network password.

I wish I could help you more, but I dumped Windows servers, in favor of Linux. Somebody will come by with more details soon...
