I received the authentication dialog too which led me here. What I've determined is IIS is configured (in the applicationHost.config file) by default as



The precondition will only load the authentication module for requests that are managed. This would be aspx, ashx etc files. unmanaged files would be static files ico, gif, png, html etc. Since unmanaged files don't go through FormsAuthentication they probably get accessed by the anonymous user. So, I gave IUSR access to my DNN folder and my problem was gone.

Removing then adding the formsauthentication with no preCondition would fix this by always loading this module for the unmanaged files. That would cause all files to be accessed by the AppPool user. However, It would seem the intent was to access the unmanaged files anonymously to avoid loading the formsauthentication module on every request. Just a performance concern.

Although maybe there are some files that you would want to force formsauth on anyway. doc or xls files?

I've been unable to reproduce this in prior 7.x releases.

However,we have an internal bug against 7.1 which is in Development, for this issue.

I have copied it into Open Core it is viewable here:  DNN-26271

I cannot understand why you cannot reproduce this error.  I have two brand new 7.00.05 and both had the issue. To resolve the issue I had to switch to RIBBIONBAR (in host settings) AND make the following change to the web.config 

<modules>

...

< remove name="FormsAuthentication" />
< add name="FormsAuthentication" type="System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationModule" preCondition="" />
...
< /modules>

There are a lot of people reporting this same issue - so it is real.  New users to DNN will be turned-off if the fact that this level of changes need to be made to an out-of-the-box install.  If we want DNN to be more widely used - and I do - then the product has to work correctly out-of-the-box.  I don't mind RIBBIONBAR - but you use all of your "Beautiful" that you are advertising.  There are a lot of modules - such as the excellent feedback module - that do not work properly with the controlbar - so I am wondering if that is the right way to go (yet).

Just my two cents as I would like to DNN be more widely used - Instead of wordpress.
