Objective: Web page search displays only the matches to files that the logged in user has NTFS permissions to view. The files are stored on another server, with a virtual directory set up in the IIS4 web server.
IIS4 content indexes the virtual directory “workgroups” a shared directory on an NT4 file server. It connects with the account “intrabrowser”. If I give this account full control over all of Workgroups it indexes everything and the problem occurs when I use a web search page and it ignores the NTFS permissions of the logged on user and returns all the matches even if the logged on user should have no right to see certain matches (normally blocked by NTFS rights).
If some folders have only the owning user with any rights to it, then it is not indexed because the account intrabrowser cannot read it, so then if the owning user logs on and searches he cannot find it either.
Additional info: I had this working correctly on a test server I built, but dont know what I have done wrong this time.
No anon permissions on site at all its all NT Challenge/response.
