IIS Redirection and MOSS 2007

Question

Hi there,

We have 4 WebSites and Web Applications developed on top of MOSS 2007. We put in place redirection from HTTP to HTTPS for each website/webapplication.

Suddenly the redirection of one website/webapplication doent want to work anymore. The other three are still fine. ;-)

The error i get when connecting to the faulty site is:

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

The funny thing is that when browsing directly from the server, everything is working fine.

No changes occured in the last time.

Any idea/help/advice will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Answer 1

check the IIS settings. Check the permission of incoming user Request. Validate APP Pool account !!! Seems to have permission issue.

IIS settings are the same for all 4 websites, 1 is not working the others 3 are working.

The APP pool is running under NETWORK SERVICE account. ALL websites used for redirection are using this account: the faulty one and the good ones.

Answer 3

Please check if NETWORK SERVICE has permission over respective virtual directory.

Answer 5
