Windows Authentication not working after publishing asp.net to IIS

[Jim]

A web application has been built using asp.net and Visual Studio 2005. The
application is setup to use windows authentication to identify users. The
application works when run from in the interactive development environment
using the new web server included in VS 2005. However when the application
is 'published' to IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000, windows authentication no longer
works.

What needs to be done to fix this windows authentication problem with IIS?

Hello jim,

you have to disable "anonymous authentication" in IIS5 for the virtual directory
- otherwise IIS will not do a authentication handshake.

You hit the nail on the head Dominick. The "anonymous authentication" was
turned off and the authentication worked. Thanks.
