  IIS6 - ASP.NET MVC - Website

  Nov 07, 2011 12:02 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  Hopefully I have this thread in the correct location

  I'm trying to deploy an ASP.NET MVC 3 app to IIS6 as a Website, not a Virtual Directory. Then setup a DNS entry to point directly to the MVC Web app.

  So this is what I have setup

  AppPool called "MVCAppPool"

  • running as a domain service account

  Website called "MVCApp"

  • ASP.NET version 4.0.30319
  • with integrated windows authentication
  • pointing directly at the MVC web apps dir, e.g., "c:\websites\MVCApp\"
  • Advanced Web Site Identification entry as  Default, 80, mvcapp.somedomain.com

  DNS mapping mvcapp.somedomain.com to the web servers IP address.

  But when I try to access the site I get prompted for a username and password, then any and all accounts entered fail, resulting in a 401.2

  Now if I setup the site as a virtual directry it works, but you can't access the with http://mvcapp.somedomain.com/

  Can anyone help me out?

  Hi,

  Please check your site settings to see if any ISAPI filter installed on it. Also, you can refer to the following article for further troubleshooting.

  Figured it out

  <add value="false" key="autoFormsAuthentication"/>

  Apparently MVC3 uses Forms Authentication by default and needs to be explicitly turned off
