Tomcat + IIS = no basic windows authentication

[Dark_Angel]

Hey

Please forgive my slightly lengthy post. The server is running Windows Server 2003 and is running IIS version 6.0.

Problem
--------

If I enable “Basic Windows Authentication” and then navigate to the website hosting it using a web browser, for example http://url/nclexrn3500 it will then prompt for the user name and password. If I enter any user name or password (including admin ones) it will not accept it, and after several tries tell me I am not allowed to view the page.

If I specify the port as 8080, for example http://url:8080/nclexrn3500 it will go straight in to the program, and completely by pass all security prompts.
The application is an installation, which creates a few virtual directories within the website. The program uses Jakarta Tomcat as one of the virtual directories, which is located in the same main folder as the program itself (c:/program files/LWW/Tomcat).

Under web service extensions (under IIS) I have added the “c:\program files\lww\tomcat\bin\ISAPI_Redirect.dll”, and have also allowed “ALL Unknown ISAPI Extensions”.

I had posted a long while ago with the same problem, but now after much googling and searching the problem seems to be caused by Jakarta’s Tomcat – does anyone have any ideas of a work around solution ?

Thanks a lot,

Ok, I have made a little progress.

I can now get in via administrator, but no other user lets me in. I have given full permissions to the folder (lww) which also contains the tomcat folder, but I still can NOT get in. I have also given full permissions to asapi_redirect.dll and it is the same thing. The moment I promote a user to admin though it works instantly.

I have even tried putting a user (test) in to every single user group on the server, minus the admin one and it still won't let me in. The second I put them in the admin group though it works instantly. Can someone *please* help me with this, I am seriously being driven insane with this problem.
