On IIS 7 I set up an application called "XYZ", and an application pool for it.
I set the identity of this application pool to a custom user, let's call it "Mario".
Mario has NTFS access to the folder/files in which XYZ points to (remote share).
In the XYZ authentication settings, only windows authentication is enabled:
In the providers for windows authentication, only NTLM is active:
Physical path credentials for XYZ are set to application user / pass-through:
So the problem is, when I go to http://server.com/XYZ I get challenged (which is to be expected), but I does not matter what I put in, it looks like the authentication token is not accepted, and the browser challenges me again.
I have looked at logs for Active Directory and the requests are coming through, but even when the user is successfully authenticated the browser challenges again.
HERE'S THE GOAL: to allow directory listing, but to use credentials provided by the user for NTFS access. Right now I can't get that to work. THANK YOU!
Here's the Web.config file:
