I have a asp mvc 2 web application that with forms authentication. It is working just fine on my Visual Studio Development Server but once I deploy my application to IIS 7 it give me a
‘401 – Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials’ error without going to my loginURL page.

In my Web Config

 <authentication mode="Forms"
  forms name=".MYUNIQUFORMSAUTH" loginUrl="/Login" requireSSL="false" timeout="20000"  /> 
<authentication/>

In IIS i also set the authentication to be Forms on my project and the cookie name matches name set in web.config file.

Project application pool is set to .NET 2.0 with Integrated Pipeline.

    I believe you need to enable the Anonymous Authentication in IIS besides Forms Authentication, so that a login form can be shown.
