IIS Windows NT Authentication

I am using IIS 5.0. The server is using Windows NT Authentication to authenticate
users accessing the web-site. The problem I am having is that the username
and password dialog box does not pop up everytime a user tries to access
the web-site. IIS takes the users credentials from the computer, confirms
that it is a network user and just lets them in. How can I make the username/password
dialog box to pop up everytime a user tries to access the web-site. Please
help. Thanks in advance.

# 1 Re: IIS Windows NT Authentication
Hi Karthik,
Look at the following to solve this one:
1. Make sure ur NTFS rights for IUSR_machine are denied on the resources
which are being accessed (ASP/HTM/GIF etc)
2. Make sure anonymous access is disabled in the directory security of the
website
3. If using IE to access the protected website, then goto tools-internetoptions-security-customlevel-user
authentication-logon. select "always prompt for userid and password" from
this.

HTH,
