Users are unexpectedly prompted to enter their credentials when they access a list in a Office SharePoint Server 2007 site that is based on the Publishing Site template
Consider the following scenario. You use SharePoint Central Administration to create a new Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site that is based on the Publishing Site template. You configure the site to use anonymous access.
When a user tries to access a list on the site, the user is unexpectedly prompted to enter his or her credentials. However, you expect a user to be able to access a list on the site without a prompt to enter his or her credentials.
This behavior occurs if the lockdown feature is enabled for the Limited Access permission level. The lockdown feature prevents anonymous users from viewing form pages and using remote APIs.
To resolve this issue, use the Stadm.exe command-line tool to disable the lockdown feature. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
- Type the following lines at the command prompt. Press ENTER after each line.
cd /d %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Bin
stsadm -o deactivatefeature -url http://ServerName -filename ViewFormPagesLockDown\feature.xml
- Type exit to exit the command prompt.
Note After you run this command-line tool against your site, you must toggle the
Site Settings advanced permissions to turn off
Anonymous access. Then, turn on
Anonymous access again. You must do this for the command to take effect on content that exists in the site.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
