>Hello everybody:

>We are currently encountering the following problem. we developed an application in asp to read foxpro25 tables, and it works fine in an nt machine or in an 2000 server, the problem comes in when we try to read the tables from the novell server, it does not ever see the server, it seems to be that since it comes thru the web it does not find the correct rights and it just by passes
>the server. any suggestions on how to fix this?
Probably the anonymous user of the Web application (by default the local machine account IUSR_machinename) has no rights to access the novell server.
If this is the case, you should configure -thru the Internet Services Manager- a domain account, which has the required rights, as anonymous user for the Web app.
Another way to go would be to disable the anonymous user, thus forcing each user to autenticate and using their own security permissions.
HTH and bye
