Thread:Project:Support desk/IIS7 Permissions on Uploaded Images

Hello all,

I have MediaWiki up and running on Win2k8 Std R2 with IIS7 connected to a remote MySQL DB.

Within IIS7 I have Basic Authentication turned on so that employees visiting my Wiki have to use a Windows Domain username and password.

Everything was running fine until I sent the site to a few employees to test. They found that when the visited a site that had an embedded image, they have to continually type in their username/password. A further look into things find that while users have read access to the entire MediaWiki folder even Images, however on the actual Image files the only accounts with access are System, Administrator, IIS_IUSRS, and the individual domain account of the people that uploaded the image.

Any ideas? The permission tables are set to inherit from the previous folder, but the actual files just don't inherit...
