I'm not sure if this is a MOM problem or an IIS problem. I've installed MOM
2005 on a Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6. When I try to go to the web
console from IE 7, it gives me an error page that says "This website requires
you to log in," but it never gives me the option to enter credentials. When
I try to access the web console from Firefox, it lets me enter my
credentials, but then gives me the error "Directory Listing Denied." I'm
using an admin user name, so there shouldn't be a problem with permissions.
Also, if I allow Directory Browsing through IIS, it will let me see the
folders and files in a directory list, but it doesn't show the actual web
console UI. Any ideas?

You get "Directory Listing Denied" error when a directory does not
have a defined Default Document and "Directory Browsing" attribute is
not enabled. This has nothing to do with authentication, and since
default directories all have default documents, your situation
requires misconfiguration to get into.

Please make sure that the Web Console is actually installed on the
server and that your requests are going to the correct server. If
those are true, then this looks like a MOM Web Console setup issue to
me.

Thanks for your reply David. The MOM web console must be installed, because
it automatically set it up in IIS. I can see the site that it set up. What
do you mean by "make sure your requests are going to the correct server?"
I'm typing in the correct server name when I try to navigate to it via the
browser. Also, isn't it strange that it gives me the option to enter
credentials with Firefox and not with IE7? I'm pretty new to this, so if you
could just be more specific please, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so
much for any help!

I recommend that you contact Microsoft PSS for professional paid
assistance/hand-holding on the issue.

I am pretty certain this is not an issue with IIS because IIS does not
have different behavior between IE7 and Firefox, so any differences
occur due to the application on top of it (i.e. MOM). And since you
say that MOM web console must be installed, then the problem is in
that installation's configuration of IIS, and Microsoft PSS would be
the right point of contact.

The most that I can do is provide general information on how things
work and for you to think through the information and make decisions.
As soon as you want "specifics", that drags in agreement of
"responsibility", and the right party to be responsible for making MOM
work on your configuration is Microsoft PSS.

P.S. Enabling "Directory Browsing" has nothing to do with your issue.
The problem of "Directory Listing Denied" means that you are missing a
Default Document -- which should be installed or configured by an
external application like MOM. You really cannot have a Web Console UI
with Directory Browsing enabled, and since you want the former, I know
the latter is not what you want and hence your configuration of it has
nothing to do with what you want.
