Hello,

I'm attempting to host a virtual directory that is a CIFS share on a Netapp.
I've setup the virtual directory to "Always use the authenticated user's
credentials when validating access to the network directory"

After reading:

"Deploying and Configuring Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 with
Remotely Stored Content on UNC Servers and NAS Devices" Found:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver20 03/technologies/webapp/iis/remstorg.mspx#E5G

I worked with my AD admin to setup delegation on the IIS AD object to the
Netapp. Originally, I tried Kerberos with the cifs and HOST service
configured. No luck. Then I tried the same services with "use any
protocol". No luck. Then I tried adding all the services. Again, no luck.
Sigh.

To clarify what I mean when I say "no luck": When I try to go to the
virtual directory via a browser, I get challenged for credentials, after
putting in a user and password, I simply get challenged again and
again.....never gaining access.

The odd thing is, when I have Directory Security | Integrated Windows
Authentication selected along with Using an account in the "connect as"
dialogue (Network Directory)...I get challenged. However, any valid account
I put in gains access regardless of its ability to access the CIFS share. I
understand it is using the "connect as" account, it just seems odd that I get
challenged.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I figured it out. This solved my issue:
