I have a cms site (2002, sp1 on win2k) in which the content users have
uploaded a lot of images from local hard disk.

When a posting with such images are requested, the read-only site
(guest-enabled) will prompt for a login, and only users with authoring rights
will be able to view the images.

I've checked the NR and rdonlyres folders, and have given the IIS guest
account full rights to these folders (as well enable anonymous in the virtual
directory in IIS).

Anyone has encountered this before? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi FS,

did you assign the subscriber rights group with the guest account to the
resource galleries?

If you already checked this you could also download filemon from
www.sysinsternals.com to check if there are any access denied errors when a
guest tries to browse one of the resource gallery items. this will proof if
there is an ACL problem on the file system or not.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,
Yes, the subscriber rights has been given to all resource galleries.

Just to understand a bit more: when a user uploads from a local resource,
the file is serialized into the CMS DB (BlobTable, I presume). However it
does not belong to any resource gallery since it's not uploaded to any
gallery. So when a request is made, how does CMS apply the access permissions
to the particular resource?

Will try filemon as well, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi FS,

ok, if this is a local attachment and not a shared attachment, then MCMS
will apply the posting credentials.
This indicates a problem with the /NR... folder or files.

Please use filemon as indicated before.
Also check if anonymous account works correct in the /NR/rdonlyres folder by
placing a file in this folder and requesting it.

Check in the IIS log if the item is retrieved with anonymous user or if
credentials are requested.

Cheers,
Stefan.
