title: HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized
body: <p>I am getting this errror in my newly created website in Windows 7 and IIS 7.5. I created an SSL certificate and done binding new website.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized<br>
       You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Earlier when I created the website, I selected 'application user(pass through authentication)' in 'Add Website' dialogue. and when I click "Test Settings ..." button, I get this error message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.</p>
