[Zope] IIS, PCGI, authentication

[Stuart Nicholson]

I currently have this (IIS / PCGI / ZOPE) working fine. From dim memory you may also have to turn off the IIS 'custom error handling' pages...I seem to recall reading somewhere
this can foul up authentication...

Sorry I can't be more specific just a gut feeling.

Stupid questions:
- So IIS's version of allow anonymous access is turned on?
- Is it IIS or Zope that is having the problem?
