windows authentication..

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Hi
I'm stuck with a user authentication issue and desperately need some help.
here's the situation - I have a web application where all the users in the
domain have access to the pages. Except an edit page -
edit_employee.aspx,only the users in the custom admin group (-
domain_name\webapp_admin) have access to it. So if anyone navigates to the
url;
[url]http://webserver_nm/mywebapp/Employee/edit_emp.aspx[/url]

the user is prompted with a window logon screen. All has been working well
all this time, however, recenlty I created a new user and added it to the
webapp_admin group. But this user logon does not work with the above
security settings and is prompted for login. If I try entering a wrong
password too , the account does not lock out neither the login is
recongnised for a correct pwd.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

How have you secured this file? Is it secured via a location tag under the
web.config or have you got some code under the Page_Load to check the users
role?

The web.config has the code to allow only users of the group
"domain_name\webapp_admin"
again, the authentication works for all the users except this new user accnt
that was created on the domain.
