[asp.net] IIS 6 - Server 2003 - Windows Authentication Failure

[LosOjos]

Hi all,

 

I'm having an intermittent problem with an old intranet server here. It will work fine for weeks, then suddenly Windows authentication will stop working completely.

 

The usual behaviour is the user isn't aware of any login as I'm just using access permissions in ASP.NET to let only certain AD groups through. I have also manually added the server's local admin account as an allowed user.

 

When the failure happens, users are prompted for their login details, but even entering them correctly doesn't allow them access to the site. If I enter the server's local admin credentials however, it authenticates.

 

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? As I say, this problem rears it's ugly head every few weeks, I try restarting it a couple of times, nothing seems to work then eventually, it will start working again.

anyone?

still got this issue and it hasn't cleared itself up this time - any ideas what I can do/check to fix it? The way it's going, I'm going to have to resort to issuing login details but I'd rather it was transparent, staff already moan about the number of login details they have to remember

 

EDIT: so I just remoted in to the server as a domain admin and now it's all working fine again! Not sure what causes this issue, so still curious if anyone has any suggestions.
