Not sure on this I’m afraid Harrie – this was years ago now and I don’t touch windows servers anymore! 🙂 Best of luck

I work with IIS6 on Windows Server 2003. I use Integrated Windows Authentication because i’am working in a Domain and I want SSO. Then this is not possible because the IUSR-account is not used. For read and write you can let the share be read/writeble for everyone (not only the domain user, but also from outside the domain), but the problem is that everyone can map this share and get files from it. PHP should first check the database if the user is allowed to view the specified document. Now the upload-folder is outside the webroot on the same server, that works perfect, but I want load balancing and 1 storage-server for the files. I read a lot of documents, is there someone that can help?

To be honest Kevin I was lazily using \\servername\e$ (dollar shares) to test the theory, but this can still be secured as long as your overall permissions are set well across the second box? Do you want me to remote in see if I can help? lol

Can you elaborate on this? How do you have your IIs virtual directory setup?

Difficult situation isn’t it? Took me days to work it out but its worth sticking with. I would hazard a guess its to do with your IIS settings on the calling box, it needs to be calling using IUSR and no pass through account?

I’m running this on Win 2003 server IIs Ver 6, the iusr account is on both systems the web server and the file server. The path is the unc \\servername\share name\data.mdb.

What windows / iis version are you on? its the iUSR account you have added on both right? from the calling server?

are you using full network path e.g. \\servername\e$\data.mdb or ip or mapped drive or what?

I have the same user on both servers, I’ve added that user to the security settings for the db file, share and security settings.
Here is the error if everyone is not used.

Server Error in ‘/TT’ Application.
——————————————————————————–

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a “web.config” configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its “mode” attribute set to “Off”.

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the “defaultRedirect” attribute of the application’s configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
