HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration

“You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.”

This error will occur if you are trying to use NTLM authorization on a web site, and the users are hitting it from behind a proxy server.  There is no 'fix' for this.  The web site will need to be reconfigured to use basic or digest authentication.

Thanks for providing this information.

Reconfiguring to use basic authentication solved this problem for me.
