I've just wrote a legacy app on IIS 6.0 (.NET 1.0, don't even ask why!). One of the requirements is to have "Integrated Windows Authentication" disabled on the Virtual directory.

When I disable that, I get a error 401.1 on the IIS root's test.html, which consists of "Hello World"

You are not authorized to view this page You do not have permission to

view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Please try the following:

•Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able
to view this directory or page. •Click the Refresh button to try again
with different credentials. HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is
denied due to invalid credentials. Internet Information Services (IIS)

When IWM is enabled, the website works like a gem.

Does anyone know what is the root cause? This doesn't appear to be an issue with my app since even the default test.html fails with authentication
