I use the below code in config file and I am trying to specify access to a particular person in the domain.

But the user is not getting windows authentication to that site, again and again its popping up of credentials ending up in 401 error. even after the name is added.

I am using IIS 7.0 and working from a remote machine.

In IIS, i tried windows authentication enabled, then anonymous enabled, but both didn't work.

XML

<authentication mode="Windows">
    </authentication>

    <authorization>
      <allow users="DomainName\UserName"/>
      <deny users="*"/>
    </authorization>

Hi,
Thanks for response.

Still, I am not getting the point. See, in the article its mentioned that i need to change the machine.config. I am working on a client network and can't do that. Other websites working in the same intranet use the same IIS and machine.config but when they use the above code, its working, but for my application tats developed, its not. I am wondering why.

Thank you.

Its working now, after doing this, IIS restart was done and only windows authentication I enable where in advanced settings, Kernel mode was disabled and its working for me.
