Browser Client Sends Multiple Logon Requests

• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you select a link to a web page, the text in the web page is displayed; however, any images on the page are not displayed. Also, you will be prompted for your user name and password over and over, until you are denied access.

CAUSE

You do not have rights to where the image files are stored on the computer.

WORKAROUND

Check the following:

• Is IIS is using Basic or NT Challenge/Response password authentication?
  
  If yes, add Allow Anonymous password authentication.



• Is the wwwroot directory is on an NTFS partition? With the group EVERYONE removed?
  
  If yes, add the EVERYONE group to where the image files are located.



• Are the images used by the server stored in a different directory than the HTML pages? With the group EVERYONE removed?
  
  If yes, make sure the same user/group that has access to the HTML directories also has rights to where the images are stored on the server.
