A customer has disabled anonymous access - the result is that now my CGI
program fails (fopen fails) when trying to open a file (local file on
the webserver machine, UNC syntax). The permissions of the files /
folders / shares, and even the CGI are all "everybody full control".
Not sure where to go from here - I cannot reproduce the problem in my
environment, but I cannot figure out what is different on the customer's
machine.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Jay

Hi Jay,

How are you authenticating? If you are using NTLM to authenticate, then
that is the problem. An NTLM token is not delegatable, and won't be able to
work over UNC (even if the UNC is to the same machine.)

I hope that this helps,
