IIS6 access denied error 401.3


If I have windows authentication enabled, anonymous and basic disabled for an individual aspx page in iis6 and in the acl only my user (That I'm logged in as) has full permissions to that file, no other account has been added to the list.

Why do I get an 401.3 access is denied error when the credentials are correct. The credentials box just keeps appearing. I have removed inheritance from the parent directory incase there were any deny permissions, i have checked my account isn't locked and I've even tried using fiddler to see if I can find any problems but I find it confusing.

The only way I could get the page to show is by adding the everyone group into the acl which makes me think even though I have specified windows authentication,it's still using another account but i don't know which one? I tried adding the IUSR account into the acl but still no luck.

Could it be something to do with NTML and kerberos. on fiddler, it says:

WWW-Authenticate Header is present: Negotiate

WWW-Authenticate Header is present: NTLM

But I don't know if this is correct ( a bit out my league). So any tips or ideas to look at would be appreciated.

Thanks


Solution

  • 401.3 is Unauthorized due to ACL on resource. I would run Process Monitor, reproduce the issue, and search for Access Denied. Then fix the errors by providing appropriate permissions.
