This application is using windows integrated authentication in IIS. No anonymous login.

It’s also using an application pool defined to log on with a domain user.

If a try to browse any page, it pops up the username and password dialog box and even though I entered a valid user (including the domain administrator) it doesn’t log on into the app. I keep getting the username/password dialog. If I logon locally (in the IIS box), it works OK.

Also, if I change the application pool to use Network Services, it works OK.

The domain user is already a member of the local IIS_WPG group in the IIS box.

Am I missing something here?
