401.2 Error on IIS7

I was getting a 401.2 error on a website that I had moved to IIS7.  The website required Windows Authentication.  To resolve the issue:

  • Make sure the website users have access to the underlying files.
  • In the Application setup in the IIS console
    • Go to Basic Settings for the Application (in the right pane), and click on ‘Connect As …’.  Selection ‘Application User’.

    • Click the Authentication icon in the IIS section.
    • Verify that ASP.NET Impersonation and Windows Authentication are both enabled.
