Why an Applet fails when I enabled authorization section in web.config?

Hallo everyone,

I have a web application project which embeds applet object in one of its asp.net pages. The applet runs properly. When I configure the web.config, however, it fails to run properly. Actually, the error is caused by the authorization section which I figured out later on.

Here is the sample configuration:

...
  <!--<authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
  </authorization>-->
...

The web application is resides on .NET Framwork 2.0.

Is there any solution?

Thanks

Is Windows Authentication (or whichever you're actually using) enabled in IIS?

You're denying Anonymous, so if the others are turned off...

It is Forms authentication. Why do you ask?

Thanks

I've had IIS "magically" decide to disable authentication and revert back to Anonymous. If that happened to you and you had your app set to Deny anonymous...it wouldn't work. What, exactly, is the error you're receiving?
