I haven't actively set the permissions that way, but it appears that
"Users" do have permission to read/execute the extension. I assume
you mean they should have that permission, right?

Would that affect the serving of non-CF files, though? The problem
applied to .htm, .gif, you name it.

I use "applied," past tense, because the problem (thankfully) has
gone away, although (unfortunately) I still don't know why it
occurred, nor why the reinstall and permissions fixes didn't work the
first time.

I uninstalled and reinstalled IIS and CFMX one more time. The only
actual difference I can discern is that I made sure to delete the
CFMX folder before reinstalling. During both uninstalls, CFMX never
completed its uninstall. It hung on registry changes, and eventually
I had to reboot.

Also, between reinstalling IIS and CFMX, I walked through Microsoft's
list of default permissions (NTFS permissions, registry permissions,
security policy permissions) for IIS 6.0 and made sure they were set
according to the document. But I don't know whether that made a
difference. The first time I checked these permissions and modified a
couple after the reinstall.

Anyway, after reinstalling IIS, the authentication issue went away
for static/ASP files. And after this last reinstall of CFMX, the
issue did not reoccur.

Can't say I'm happy that the source of the problem is undiscovered;
but at least things are working now.

On to re-applying CFMX patches. (Unless someone has encountered
permissions problems arising from any of them.)

Specifically, Dave, have you ever encountered a problem like this
after changing the Login account for CFMX from System to a
less-privileged User? (I ask since you've addressed changing the
Login many times in the past.)  The problem didn't occur immediately
after that change; but that change was the last modification made on
that server prior to the problem.
