    Problems with authentication

    I have a directory where a user has permissions to the files.  I've verified that they have permissions to all files and folders in this directory.  The content is a mix of css, html and asp.

     

    The directory is configure to disallow anonymous browsing and requires basic authentication.  After the initial authentication the default document is displayed.  The problem is that attempts to click on links that sends a user to a different page pop up another box asking to reauthenticate and attempts to reauthethenticate are unsuccessful.  The links are relative so it doesn't appear to be a domain issue.

     I'm out of ideas.  Any suggestions?

    The authentication is by directory, not each file right?

     I just turned off all authentication except basic on the folder using the IIS7 Manager.

     The developers revealed that the files referenced a different directory which had different security permissions.  Changing the permissions of that directory fixed the problem.
