Hi all,
Using IIS6, I have a web site that has authenticated-only
access (Basic) enabled. I want to make one directory
authentication-free. No problem, think I - I set it's
directory permissions in IIS Manager to enable Anonymous,
disable Basic, and do the same for file permissions on the
two files within.
No dice. I still get prompted when browing to
https://site/blah/
Seems logical, and indeed if I "test" by trying to turn
off auth at the site level, it tells me that "blah",
"blah/file.html" have different permissions, do I
override, so it definitely seems right, but it's
definitely picking up site permissions and using them.
Am I missing something, or do I need to make the site
anonymous, and all the root dirs/files authenticated?
