    Re: Prompt for username/password opening PDF

    I just reinstalled IIS as I worked with wamp before and yet I didn't find out
    how to have a php and a asp server working the same time on a computer. (I
    had to uninstall the IIS to get wamp at work). But my question now is only
    about asp. Everything works in asp only that there comes a popup that ask
    for username and password. I searched what could be meant and saw you use
    the terminology "IUSR_COMUTERNA ME and IWAM_COMPUTERNA ME".
    I tried this out for my pc name but without succes and in fact I don't know
    where to get the password. Please do you have any suggestion to solve the
    logging in problem? Thanks.

    Yes, you right... It must be IUSR_COMUTERNAM E and IWAM_COMPUTERNA ME.

    Does not matter that user can open from Windows Explorer. Those 2 accounts
    IIS is running under (by default)... When it can not open files then it
    sends back prompt for username/password trying to authenticate user and
    access files under his account.

    When you say IIS_USRXXXX are you meaning the IUSR_COMPUTERNA ME account?

    Not sure if this helps, but users can open the file just fine from Windows
    Explorer.

    My guess would be the IIS accounts do not have permission to the file...

    For small files .NET handles Response.WriteF ile itself.... reads file and
    sends it over to browser so only ASP.NET account needs to have read
    permissions...

    For big files .NET asks IIS do it (there is an API in ISAPI to do so)...
    hence IIS_USRXXXX account needs to be able to read that file...
