What is "anonymous web user account"?

CM
Hi, There:
I am working on a commercial ASP web application which use MS Access 2000 as
database.

When configuring the database access, I got an error saying that this
database is a read-only database. I checked the database property, it shows
that this database is archive, not read only (The database property is found
by:open database and then File -> Database properties -> on the General tag.
there is no way to change these property, as these boxes are gray, not
enabled.). I can directly make change on the database using Access, so, my
guess is the problem is not really database related, am I right?

According to the instruction of the software, the database folder must have
read and write permissions given to the "anonymous web user account", I have
set the database folder to share and gave all permissions to "anonymous
logon " and "every one", but the problem is still there. I am just
wondering, what is the "anonymous web user account" in Windows 2000 server
and IIS?

Anyone can help?

The account is named IUSR_yourserver name. See here to learn how IIS uses
the IUSR account for anonymous access:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=264921

Also, the problem is not with "share" permissions, but rather NTFS
permissions.

Hi, Tom:

Thanks for your reply. It really contains very useful information. However,
I am not familiar with windows administration, could you please tell me how
to grant "Log On Locally" permissions to IUSR_yourserver name? In the
property of IUSR_yourserver name, I cannot find "Log on locally". Where is
the permission located?

Thanks!
CM

You don't need to do that. It works fine right "out of the box" with
Access if you simply grant the account read/write permissions to the
file and folder it is in.
The less things you change the better off you are, *especially* if you
are not familiar with Windows administration.

The account will have that permission by default. To manually assign the
"Log on Locally" right, open Administrative Tools and select Local Security
Policy. In Security settings, expand Local Policies and User Right
Assignment. Click Log on locally, and then click Add.

Thanks a lot!
The strange thing is, I give even admin's permission to the
IUSR_yourserver name, but it still not working. However, after I checked and
debugged the offence asp page (actually, I didn't change any thing), the
error disappeared, even after I tool away the admin permission.
Anywhere, you did give me a lot of useful experience and knowledge. Thank
you!
CM

Hi, We have moved our domain controllers from win2K to win3K. The script below doesnt work at all now because by default Win3K disables "Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" GetObject("WinNT://domain/domainController/username,user") We are using GetObject to get the user groups, so as to restrict them to certain parts of the website. It still works with one of the old DC's which is win2K.
