Permission issue

cdoloriert

Hi,

I've been working with permissions for sometime already and I have a question. GroupA needs has access to workarea1 and workarea 2 which works fine so far. I had to set wk2 private to true to make sure that wk2 is not visible for other users from for example Group B or C. Everything works fine in workareas for GroupA users, the problem is that when I try to preview the file as GroupA user, the user is asked to enter windows credentials and if I enter my credentials nothing happens. if I click cancel, it get a message something like "You are not authorized to display this page"


Bellow you can see part of the script I wrote.
iwaccess.exe set-private \default\main\Test\Proj1\\WORKAREA\wk1 false
iwaccess.exe set-private \default\main\Test\Proj1\\WORKAREA\wk2 true

iwaccess.exe set-group \default\main\Test\Proj1\WORKAREA\wk1\. GroupA -r
iwaccess.exe set-group \default\main\Test\Proj1\WORKAREA\wk2\. GroupA -r

iwaccess.exe add-windows-permission \default\main\Test\Proj1\WORKAREA\wk2\templatedata -group GroupA -perm F
... for each directory

iwaccess.exe add-windows-permission \default\main\Test\Proj1\WORKAREA\wk1\templatedata -group GroupA -perm F

... for each directory


Please any suggestions?


Thanks in advance.

I've encountered this problem at a couple of Windows sites - and found that if I add the IUSR_hostname account that IIS creates to my TeamSite Web Preview Group and change the anonymous account for the iwmount virtual directory in the web site from TSIMP_hostname to IUSR_hostname that it tends to fix the problem.

You may have to explicitly reset the password for IUSR_hostname in order for this to work (don't have my notes handy right now, don't feel like digging them out - sorry)
