localhost login
I've just upgraded my system from XP Home to XP Pro and
now I can't get to http://localhost:8080 because the system prompts me to log in. It refuses the .NET username/password pair specified for my user (Owner) and it refuses the username/password pair specified for my Internet connection. I don't need this level of security because it's just me at home practicing new technologies. I would like to configure the machine so it doesn't prompt for a login to get to localhost. If I can't do this, then at least I need to know what to set for the username/password pair. Can anyone help with this? Thanks. Shelah |

You may have to go into IIS properties and turn off Windows authentication.
By default, both anonymous and windows authentication are enabled. What has probably happened is that you put files up there without changing the ACLs to allow the IUSR_MACHINENAME account to access these files. Since this is the user token that IIS uses for anonymous authentication, it is trying to use Windows authentication to get a principal which is allowed to view these files, so you are also going to need to check the ACL list in Windows Explorer.

Shelah I haven't setup IIS in XP Pro yet but I believe you need to configure it to allow anonymous access. Check the help file for IIS (double click the IIS icon in Control Panel to get to the configuration pages). Also, depending on how the rest of the system is setup - the network hardware should support loopback. And may want to try accessing the local web server by using the IP instead of localhost as well. -- Sharon F MS MVP - Windows XP Shell/User |
