VNX Unified and IIS integration
Hi
we have a IIS web server with a site configured that includes a virtual directory mapped to a share coming form VNX unified.
Windows Server and CIFS server are standalone so to have pass-through authentication we have setup administrator account with same password on both system.
We can browse folder without prompt for credentials even form IIS admin.
the problem is we need to browse virtual directory ( hence the share content) and when we try to do this we have a Http error 500.
I've try to change anonymous user account of virdir using administrator but we had same problem.
Anyone have some suggestion or instruction how to solve this problem ?
Many thanks n advance
Francesco

HTTP error? I wonder how you access the vir directory? Can you share the steps and the error message?

Hi Kevin
Virtual directory has been configured to point unc path coming from Cellera and we enable directory browsing in IIS.
We have same administrator credentials in windows and CIFS server so pass-through authentication is available on windows (no password is prompt on windows when try to connect to Cellera share).
I’ve try also to change anonymous user account replacing with administrator on IIS but it still have http 500 error.
There is no domain to use for this servers.
Hope is clear for you.
The aim is to have virtual directory browsing form IIS in order that form web browser there is a list of file content in directory (is normal IIS feature)
Thanks for your help
Regards
Francesco

I am facing a similar issue if not the same.
I have an IIS web server with a web application which includes a virtual directory. The virtual directory's path is set to a shared folder on a VNX unified storage.
The permissions are set up correctly but when browsing the image on the virtual directory through a browser I get a 500.19 Internal server error with the message "Cannot read configuration file".. apparently it is looking for a web.config file on the shared folder. I don't know why it does that and I don't understand why this only happens with the VNX storage because I've tried changing the virtual path directory to other shared folders on regular windows servers and they all work fine as expected but this only happens with this particular server.
I have managed to work around the problem by changing the pipeline mode to "Classic" instead of "Integrated" mode. This makes it work and the image is displayed in the browser but I don't understand why it happens in the first place (isn't it supposed to be like any other shared folder?) and I want to keep "Integrated" mode in all my applications.
Any suggestions/tips/links to fix or better understand this problem are appreciated. Thanks a lot
