I get the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied
When running a classic asp application.
The error is here: (in the CreateTextFile line)
Dim myFSO
set myFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
myFSO.CreateTextFile(fName)
I know I can get around this problem by giving "Full control" to the "Everyone" user. This is a publicly accessible folder on our server, so I worry that this is a security risk?
I would prefer to be able to give full permission to someone like "IIS_IUSRS", but this doesn't work. It's as if it's a different user being used for this.
Is this a security risk? Anyone know what I should be doing?
You should either find the anonymous user of your specific website and give write access to that specific user or set the application pool identity of the website to Local System so that the website would have permission.
To find your IUSR also known as the anonymous user in IIS7, open your website in IIS in Features View and go to Authentication and edit Anonymous Authentication.

I’m currently developing a web site that uses windows authentication, with ApplicationPoolIdentity configured with Identity=Application Pool. I can connect by login with my administrator user when asked by the browser and it works perfect, but if any other user tries to access, the browser asks for the credentials 3 times and then it throws a 401 Error.
Test scenarios:
If the server is configured with Anonymous Authentication ON, everybody is able to open the page.
If I try to set the application pool Identity to a regular user account, IIS doesn’t recognize the user/password provided.
The folder C:\inetpub\ was set with full control to Everyone, but the users can’t connect anyway.
The folder C:\inetpub\ was set with full control to a specific user, but the user can’t connect anyway.
Following a recommendation from another post, the following section was added to the web.config :
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
The windows logs in the Event Viewer don’t store anything about a failed login.
thanks for your comments
Update
i enabled and add Failed Request Tracing Rules to web site
it was result
ModuleName :IIS Web Core
Notification : AUTHENTICATE_REQUEST
HttpStatus : 401
HttpReason : Unauthorized
ErrorCode : Access is denied (0x80070005)
i searched this error but the post tell me, maybe permissions, but i set everyone as full control and it doesn't working
Can someone explain what causes this to happen? I am logged into a web server with UserA. UserA has full access to a directory where files are hosted in IIS. When I browse an .asmx file in the directory UserA has full access to using IIS, I get a password prompt. I input my credentials in, and no matter how many times I try, I get a 401.1 access denied. The only type of authentication being used on this site is Windows authentication.
I just fail to understand why a user with full access to the files is denied access to them by IIS. Can someone please explain what is happening here?
This is IIS 7.5. Windows Server 2008
I have a web application that is trying to access images from a shared folder on a different server.
In my web app, I created a new virtual directory. The alias is QCPhotos and the path is \alta\QCPhotos. Alta is a different server than my web server, which is Brighton.
I am getting the error:
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
In trying to debug, on the Alta server, I have given the Everyone user full access to this folder. I also gave {domain}\Brighton$ full access to the folder.
I turned on Directory Browsing, and that seems to work fine. I can list the contents of the folder, but as soon as I click on a jpg image, this error comes up.
Well, I'm still not sure why it wasn't letting me access, but I created a domain user acct named QCPhotos. I gave that user read permissions on the folder, and then set the virtual directory to use this user in IIS. This fixed my problem.
A developer posts their code from a staging site (which requires authentication) to the live public site (which should not) and suddenly the live site is requiring authentication (which is not good).
They don't have permissions to change any settings on the server(s) and there is no call from the code on the live site to anything on the staging site, that I can locate. (No forgotten calls to an image on the staging site or anything)
Can the group think of some file that might have been removed/changed that could cause this to happen? I checked this question as well - [HTTP Authentication in ASP Classic via IIS] - but none of those methods are being used.
App is Classic ASP, IIS6.0 server.
Security Settings - Anonymous Access permitted on the live site. Account for anonymous internet users allowed read access to the directory where the site is located - user is unable to change directory or site permissions on the server.
Thanks!
Did the files retain their security permissions from the folder they were copied from? Reset the permissions on the files.
Are you using a four-part URL to get to the site (http://www.somesite.com/)? That will default to the Internet zone and not intranet, prompting for authentication.
User will get challenged when Anonymous Access is turned off in IIS. What are the security settings? Without that information, we will not be able to help much.
When I setup IIS6 to develop projects locally I have to enable "Integrated Windows Authentication" under directory security in order for my CSS & Images to show up. (Note: I have double checked that network service has rights to all directories in my web application)
However this often causes my browser to prompt me for windows login username and password when I am running the application.
Is there anyway to get around entering a windows login password all the time ?
(I am using windows xp pro 64bit)
Maybe it is some problem with the kerberos authentication to your web site. Just disable it on your site. from the c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts directory run this command.
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/WebSite/root/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM"
Or change the authentication to anonymous. And make sure that the user in the directory security tab (IUSR_computername) has access to said directories. It is not the application pool user who access files and other resources.
Well it certainly is not as it's supposed to be!
You say you've double checked that Network Service has access to the directories. But with anonymous access, the account that needs access is the IUSR_[machinename] account. The account is specified under the Directory Security tab.
If all else fails, for local development you might as well grant everyone access to the directories.
