Hi Peter,

I found the link you provided to work in IIS7. One thing you might check is if you are using too many blank spaces in your virtual directory listing's name. I found if I have more then 3, this technique doesn't work.

Good Luck.

I'have a Directory, who is browsing enabled and it works fine. Now I have add a additional Virtual Directory in it. When I browse the web site I do not see the Virtual directory

I found a solution for ii6 ( http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2006/03/18/603.aspx ) but it did not work on IIS 7.

Do you have any suggestion?

Peter

Forms authentication and directory browsing issue ...

2008-08-04T08:26:00.000-07:00

Forms authentication and directory browsing issue resolved.

In order to fix this problem:
1) At the highest level of the site, click the modules feature

2) Select FormsAuthentication --> Edit

3) UN-CHECK "Invoke only for requests to ASP.NET applications or managed handlers"

4) hit ok

Done!!!
Hours of trial and error for that little option box. I cannot believe it is / was that simple.

I use Basic and Windows Authentication, depending on the content and how it's accessed.

Good luck!

I will do. Thank you for link / assistance.

Out of curiosity, what type of authentication do you use?

Sorry, I tried to reproduce your error, but can't since I don't use forms based authentication.

Check MS KB907273 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/907273) to see if it helps.

Wow. Thank you for the quick response!

Maybe I am missing something.

I have a web app called "site" which users must enter by means of forms authentication. I have a link on the site to a sub-directory called "contracts" (the link is [a href=site/contracts]link[/a]) which users should be able to browse... but they cannot unless I also allow anonymous authentication for this sub-folder.

If I enable forms, but disable anonymous, then I get this response:
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized
You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers.

I have also ensured my site is in the default app pool. The default app pool's identity is Network Service. I have also ensured Network Service has read permissions to the site/contracts folder.

When I look at the detailed error msg, it tells me the logon method is not yet determined, and the logon user is not yet determined... Even though I had to log in to get to the link.

If I leave anonymous authentication enabled, a non-user could just type in the address to http://site/contracts/ to see the contents.

Is there a session state variable I am missing?

I am begging for assistance on this. I am using iis7 with forms authentication. I have enabled directory browsing on a sub-directory of my site. I have also added read permissions to network service.

The problem is, the only way to view the directory is to also enable anonymous authentication, or else I get a 401 page or a redirect to the login page. Please help!
