Server Asking for AD Credentials
Greetings
I have getting a strange error while testing an ASP.NET application. I am using a test account to access the application. It is currently running on a test server. I can access the application, I can navigate through application. There is however, one issue I have found when accessing a particular page. I am asked for my credentials again. If I ignore the request I get a 401 error and if I provide the credentials again, it get "Cannot reach this page" error (see attached). I tried a few times, the apppool will stop and I will need to restart it.
No errors reported in the logs or in the application's exceptions.
When running locally (debugging), no issues.
Any thoughts?

it is a permissions problem on that folder/file

I thought about that. But permissions are granted to the apppool and not to the individual.

Just to be thorough, I explicitly added that account to the permissions on the folder. Sure enough the account as able to access the page.
My questions is why did I have add the account? If the only use ad groups to control access to features of teh application and the apppool is used to control access to server items why did I need to add the account to the folder permissions?
Any insight?
