Larry, thank you so much for a detailed response. As life turned out, I had
to pursue option b). After doing so, I went to option a). It turns out that
the adenin website I am trying to evaluate is marked as as (vdir) in the IIS
console and the web folder itself does not exist under Inetpub. Instead, it
is located in a folder called 'Web' in /Program Files/adenin/Web.
I did as required in a), found the IUSR and made the 'Modify'. After Apply
and OK I have a user 'Internet Guest Account (WAYNE\IUSR_WAYNE) with allow
permissions set. Unfortunately I still get the same not authorized problem.
For the adenin folder web there are adenin Users(WAYNE\adenin Users as well
as administrator, users, and other accounts. While playing around I gave
them all full control rights to this folder with no change in the error
message.
Don't know if I can supply you with additional information to id a solution
but your help is most appreciated.
