i want to allow access to Anonymous.aspx page to all user, i have set Basic Authentication to Enabled, and Connect as to specific user.

my problem is when trying to access http://MyIPAddress/MyAlias/Anonymous.aspx, authentication popup appears--ideally it shouldn't, and when i close popup, getting 401.2 Unauthorized error--it's obvious

Error Summary

HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers. Error Code 0x80070005

below is snap of my web.config file.

<configuration>
   <system.web>
       <authentication mode=“Windows“/>
   </system.web>

   <location path=“Anonymous.aspx“>
       <system.web>
          <authorization>
              <allow users=“*“/>
          </authorization>
       </system.web>
   </location>
 </configuration>

I was getting a 401.2 error. In the "Authentication" panel of my IIS the "Anonymous Authentication" was enabled, but the wrong user type was selected for authentication. Authentication type was set to a specific user on my computer. I solved the problem by setting the Authentication user identity to either "Application pool identity" or "IUSR".

Same thing happen to me this morning, everything was working fine for weeks before. yes guess what. I change my windows PC user account password yesterday night. (how stupid was I)

So easy fix:

IIS -> authentication -> Anonymous authentication -> edit and set the user and new PASSWORD.

I had not checked the Authorization header was set correctly in my request. I actually had Authentication which is not right.. Make sure you check the initiator!

Make sure Anonymous access is enabled on IIS -> Authentication.

But also right click on it, then click on Edit, and choose a domain\username and password. (With access to the physical folder of the application).

I had the same issue, and spent quite a bit of time trying to track down the solution. I had Anonymous Authentication set up at two different levels with two different users. Make sure that you're not overwriting your set up at a lower level.
