Since you are using IIS... You could also go into the IIS Administrator drill down to the file, then choose properties. From there go to security and set it to allow Anon.
IIS allows these settings at the file level. Helps if you are just having tasks run that don't need to be secured. You could also add code in the page to ensure that the remote_addr was the ip of your server. That way you only run the page if it is the server requesting it. That means you'd have to use the run command from the CFA Scheduled Tasks and couldn't hit it from your local machine. At least this way it prevents passwords from being passed cleartext.

It requires that you allow the "plain text" option I believe. Barring that you can set up a site that mirrors your web site but does allow anon access and have it respond only to 127.0.0.1. That would allow your tasks to run but not expose the content to the outside world. -mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 1:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Keeping Anon access off & turning on Scheduled Tasks Hi Folks - I am looking for someone who may have done something like this before and remembers what needs to be done! ;-) I have an intranet web site already built and running fine. It currently has Anonymous access turned off. This allows the web site to pull the user's cgi.auth_user info to be passed and processed (display name, set up security, etc). Now I am trying to get Scheduled Tasks to run properly. But everytime I do it, I get the following message: (I stripped out the HTML code) ________________________________________________________________________ ___ You are not authorized to view this page You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.
