Problems with Integrated Windows Authentication and IIS

[ookete]

(not sure if this is the right forum...)

I am new to VB.NET and I am setting up a new ASP.NET Web Service Project. I create the project and then go to IIS and set the web service's authentication to "Integrated Windows Authentication" and also disable Anonymous Access. Now when I close my project and try to open it again I get some generic error message:

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web project located at the following URL: '

http://localhost/AuthorsWebService'.

'The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response'.

So basically, the error message is no use to me. I can only open the project again when I enable Anonymous Access again. I tried to enable impersonation on the .config file, but that didn't seem to help either.

Has anyone experienced this? How do I disable Anonymous Access correctly? Thanks!

isn't there a .Net user or ASP user that needs to be enabled and added to the security? It's been a while, but I seem to remember something like that.

Good point. There is indeed an an ASPNET account added to the machine:

Full Name: ASP.NET Machine Account
Description: Account used for running the ASP.NET worker process (aspnet_wp.exe)

But I haven't read anywhere that I am supposed to set particular security settings for it.

It's been too long for me to remember, but I wouldn't be suprized if there were a FAQ on the ASP.Net board with more info.

I can't seem to find the ASP.NET forum on this site. Could you point me to the group it's in or paste a link? Thank you!
