I've recently installed the ProjectTracker solution. The Win client works fine. However, when I try to start the PTWeb project, a Windows login screen shows up instead on the web login screen. I have the web.config set for Csla authentication.

What did I miss?

Thanks in advance.

Oops. Correction. Not getting correct PT"Web" logon

If you get a Windows login screen with PTWeb it is because your virtual root (in IIS) is not configured to accept anonymous users. IIS must allow anonymous users for the virtual root in order for ASP.NET to use forms authentication, which is what PTWeb uses.

Anonymous access was enabled, but it still does not work. Anything else that I could be missing?

Thanks.

As far as I know the Windows login dialog comes because IIS requires Windows credentials for the user to access the site.

That can happen because the virtual root doesn't allow anonymous access, or because the files in the virtual root aren't set up with the right NTFS file permissions (the ASPNET user must have access, or the user has to log in to access the files).

I'm not aware of any other scenario that triggers the Windows login dialog.

I got it to work.

The directory had ASP.NET permissions, but it didn't have ANONYMOUS permissions. After adding that, everything worked fine.

Thanks.
