Question

I have just deployed a Asp.Net MVC 4 application to a brand new web server here in my company. It is running Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and IIS7.5

• I configured the application in IIS
• Enabled Anonymous Authentication and Forms Authentication and
  pointed to the right path
• I´ve added NERTWORK SERVICES to the app folder and also in .NET
  Authorization All Users is set as allow.

Trying to access the application from a remote client computer I am getting

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

I am able to access IIS page.
Is there somenthing else with the permissions I should have a look at?
Thanks

Answer 1

When users access the login page, it has not been authenticated yet. The anonymous user for my application pool is IUSR.

I needed to add IUSR with Read and Execute privilege on the application folder to solve my problem.
