I wish I could explain why this fixed the problem, but I'm completely baffled.Įncountered same issue after installing Intermediate CA on existing (internal facing only) web server (didn't want to bring another web server online and have to worry about securing it.) (the same credentials!) and the application started working. I switched it to the Application pool identity option In my case, the Specific User option was checked (it contained the name of the credentials we configured in nfig).

Opened up the Authentication, and edited the Anonymous access credentials. To solve the problem, I configured the application pool running the virtual directory to use the same credentials configured for anonymous access.

To use specific credentials in the nfig file of IIS. We configured all of our anonymous access Yet, I still received the 401.2 Unauthorized error message. I had all of the correct features installed and configured on the web site and the virtual directory. I too received the 401.2 Unauthorized error message. I'm posting this so that if anyone having a similar issue to mine can solve their problem.
