aspx Windows Authentication problem

[Rich Miller]

I have a strange situation IIS.
Take a sample web site which contains only Index.htm.
If I choose anonymous access and go to the site, the page loads fine.

If instead of Index.htm I use Index.aspx, I get promped for windows
authentication even though I've chosen anonymous access in IIS. I've reset
the permissions a bunch of times, but keep getting the win auth popup.

Any ideas?

HI Rich:

Perhaps there is a web.config file in the directory setting the
authentication mode to forms authentication.

Hello Scott,

Actually, the default setting for web.config when laid down by VS.NET is:

<authentication mode="Windows"/>

What I think you're probably looking to do is:

<authentication mode="None"/>

and

<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- This allows all users -->
</authorization>
