Our website has been working and still works if we are connected to the LAN but now if someone is elsewhere and tries to connect, they are presented with the screen called "User Authentification" asking for a username and password. What could have changed?
The website is http://pc.bartselectric.com
It sounds like you have Windows Authentication enabled on the site.
When logged in to the Active Directory network, IE will automatically pass through your Windows credentials to the site.
When off the network, you have to manually enter your network credentials.
Check the authentication mode in your web config file is Authentication mode=Windows or some thing else
also check : IIS Authentication
I found out that it was the firewall that was stopping the traffic from the outside and they needed to have a username and password to get through the firewall and then it works great. Thank you for the suggestions.

i having a problem when i tried to use a domain user as a specified user name in basic settings-> connect as. I want to access a shared folder that located in another server.
The web server always says if the username or password isn't correct and always throw 500.19 error when I started to browse the application.

However when I explore the app from IIS, it can be opened. I even tried a remote login to the server using the same username and password and it's just fine.

The server I am using for running the web server is a Workgroup computer and in a DMZ. Is that a reason why IIS can't authecticate domain user?
Sorry for my terrible english here, because i'm in panic situation right now. I hope you can understand what i'm asking about and hope somebody has an answer. Thanks
You're right, if your computer is not joined to the Active Directory domain, you won't be able to authenticate using a Domain account.
Should the site be publicly accessible? If so, you would want to set your authentication to Anonymous and then configure the authentication settings to authenticate either as a built in user (NETWORK SERVICE, AppPoolIdentity) or a local machine user created specifically for the application.
Ok, I should probably put some more Googling effort in, but....
Setup IIS and have a "site", have created an FTP profile. It's worked... however I'm getting the standard authentication dialog when FTP'ing. My username and password for server doesn't work.
Went back to IIS hoping can provide a user account to access the site. Doesn't seem possible.
How can I login to this FTP site???
set everything to "Enabled" in FTP Authentication... it's worked, no security... but am on LAN so ok :-)
We have created a dns for external and internal employees to visit an application website. They can both reach the website hosted in iis. they can both download the application that has been deployed using clickonce.
Issue is we want to password protect for external employees.. Internally its ok because we use windows authentication and have a group of users for specific applications.
we created an ad account and password. when i setup windows auth and restrict to this one ad account. i enter in username and password when going to the external dns. thats fine.. i click on the application to install.. and when its trying to install i get + The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.i'm getting a security error even after i put in the credentials , it somehow still fails when going to install.. what can i do to better password protect applications that will be accessed from the outside using clickonce.. or fix this issue thanks
I have an IIS set up in a domain A, on let's call it the process network. We are using windows-authentication and in this environment everything works as it should.
But we also have users on an office network set up in domain B. There is no trust between the domains, but there is an opening between the networks so they can reach the site. For most users in domain B everything works as expected, when they try do log in they are prompted for the Domain A credentials and then logged in.
However some users are unable to log in. They get prompted to supply credentials as expected but when they do they are denied (3 tries followed by a 401), due to:
Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.
Status: 0xc000006d
Sub Status: 0xc000006a
Above is taken from IIS event log.
I know for sure the user name is valid, and that the password is correct. I have not tried for all these users, but for some. I have tried to login using my credentials from a user's computer that cannot login, and it worked. So it doesn't seem like it's a client issue.
An interesting side note is that the users having trouble are on geographically different locations than the IIS. I have not received any problems from office network-users from the same region as the IIS is located.
EDIT: The users have changed password after the reset, so i shouldn't be becuase of expired password.
You must establish a two-way domain trust in order to make Kerberos work. Everything else will fail as you see in your logs.
Myself and a friend have a single user id to login to a website. I can login to the site but he has to wait until I log out to use the site on the same login id. Ive seen lots of screen sharing apps, looked at lots of ideas but technically it can be done im sure.
I want to login on my pc, he wants to access the site from a differnt pc.
Whats the easiest way to do this? I am using thinking about using opencoweb and iframes to simply share the session browser state and information. Is it possible?
Should I be able to do this with deploying an iframed page on app server?
buy another subscription to that service - or put a proxy on your computer and tell your friend to connect to that site through your proxy
First of all, you both should connect to the site from a single proxy server, so your ip will be the same. After one of you login into his account, the other should copy this site cookies to his computer. The site will check cookie and ip, it will be unable to distinguish between you.
No proxy needed. Simply copy the cookie file, import it via the other browser and you are done.
