I login to my website using Windows authentication, but index server
doesn't return the files from the secure folder in the results. If I
query the catalog from the MMC, the files show up, so I know they are
indexed, and everything (index, web, and files) is on one server.

The secure folder has me, system, and admin account with full control.

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks for the help

The account your users authenticate with on your web server needs read
access to these files as well.

Basically index server never shows you results (files) which you're not
allowed to see. Makes sense, it would be big security hole to see (some)
content of files which you have no access rights for.

I agree, but I have rights to see the file so index server should return
the results.

sure. just please make sure it's YOU who's querying the catalogue as
suggested (using request.servervariables("LOGON_USER") ), not default
IUSR_... restricted default user in behalf!

I login with my account and my account has full rights to the folder and
index server doesn't show results. If I use my account I can access the
file via a link or directly via url but index server still doesn't show
the result. Logging in as someone else does not allow access to the
file via link, url, or by index. So permissions are correct on the
server. Do I have to do something in the metabase? Any other ideas?

add <% =request.servervariables("LOGON_USER") %> somewhere to the beginning
of your asp page to check "who-the-heck-am-i" :)

<% =request.servervariables("LOGON_USER") %> produces my login id and
my login id has full permissions to the secure folder. Index server
will not show me the files in that secure folder.
