A developer posts their code from a staging site (which requires authentication) to the live public site (which should not) and suddenly the live site is requiring authentication (which is not good).
They don't have permissions to change any settings on the server(s) and there is no call from the code on the live site to anything on the staging site, that I can locate. (No forgotten calls to an image on the staging site or anything)
Can the group think of some file that might have been removed/changed that could cause this to happen? I checked this question as well - [HTTP Authentication in ASP Classic via IIS] - but none of those methods are being used.
App is Classic ASP, IIS6.0 server. Security Settings - Anonymous Access permitted on the live site. Account for anonymous internet users allowed read access to the directory where the site is located - user is unable to change directory or site permissions on the server.
Thanks!
