IIS 5 on Win2k server with SP2.
I am trying to restrict access to a directory on the web site. I set the NTFS permissions to allow a certain group to read only. In IIS Manager, I allow basic authentication and integrated. Problem is that only Admins can log in using basic authentication. Members of the group with read access can only log in using integrated authentication. The permissions seem correct, this seems to be a problem with logon methods. Any Thoughts?

"Web users that need Basic/Clear Text authentication and FTP users that need authentication in IIS both require the "Log on locally" user right. In Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 the "Log on locally" user right was assigned through User Manager, but in Microsoft Windows 2000 this is configured through policies."

Administrators have this right from the beginning, but for users this right should be assigned explicitly.

I have log on locally set in every policy I can find! If you can tell me exactly what locations it should be in, the points are yours.
