RE: [IMail Forum] Server Opened to World

[Matt Walkowiak]

Was/is IIS on the server?  It sounds like it is a problem unrelated to Imail. Did you auto-start the web messaging service?  What port is web messaging using, 80? 8383 (default)? In IIS, you have the web server ask for a username password, first check the directory security tab on the web site's properties box and make sure the middle one is checked - that will make it ask for a pword. Another thing to check is make sure NTFS permissions didnt change (for some very weird reason...)   Matt -----Original Message----- From: Pat Chin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 2:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Server Opened to World Importance: High URGENT!!!! All,     I'd recently installed IMail on one of our client's server and the installation went fine with an exception of one problem. Before installation, I can access the server using IP from IE from anywhere, but it will ask me for a username/password to login. In other words, if I type in http:\\som.eip.add.res, it will pop up with a box asking for username/password authentication.     For some reason, most probably an error on my part, after I'd installed Imail 6.04 on the server, accessing the server via IP does not ask for the authentication anymore. I am pretty sure I did not change any settings on the server prior to installation, nor post install, and I'd even un-install IMail to see if that fixes the problem. Can someone help me out here and tell me if there's a fix for this? I have to get this fix as most of my client's corporate database files are kept on this server.   Thanks   -Pat
