SYMPTOMS
When you configure a Microsoft Windows NT user account to be used by
clients using HTTP basic authentication, Internet Information Server (IIS)
requires that the account is granted the Log on Locally right.
When a client tries to access the FTP server on IIS, you will get the following error message:
However, for reasons of security, it may be undesirable for the IIS Administrator to grant users the Log on Locally right. RESOLUTION
Microsoft has created a patch that enables IIS administrators to choose
which right needs to be granted to users in order that clients using Basic
Authentication may access IIS services.
A value of 0 means users must have the right to Log on Locally to be given access to the server. A value of 1 means that users must have the right to Log On as a Batch Job. The Log On as a Batch Job privilege is an advanced user right that may be granted in User Manager. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet
Information Server version 1.0. This problem was corrected in the latest
Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service
Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without
