I think the problem might be that Bobby doesn't have permission to read files in the directory above the protected one. And since Bobby is not IUSER, he doesn't have access to the directory above the protected one. ColdFusion is probably trying to read some file in that directory (like application.cfm), and is failing.
So the solution is to give Bobby read access to the whole site.

I have a website which allows anonymous connections. The cfm file's are served up properly here. The folder has read/read&execute permissions for the IUSER. Then there is Virtual Directory inside of this website which restricts access using windows authentication. This folder has read/read&execute permissions for a user, lets call him Bobby. Bobby can log into this directory when prompted but when he attempts to access a cfm file, he gets the password prompt. Bobby has permissions on the files in the directory and also read/read&execute on the wsconfig\1\jrun.dll. Bobby can access html files just fine. If access to this virtual directory is set back to allow anonymous access, there is no password prompt when the cfm files are requested. So, Bobby does not have permission to execute cfm files. Where did I go wrong on the settings, what am I missing?
