Authentication problems with IIS on Windows 2008 Server

We are facing authentication problems when we install Coldfusion 9 on IIS 7.5.

Upon initial installation of IIS we could access our webpages fine but when we installed Coldfusion,

we immediately faced authentication problems with IIS saying we did not have the right authorization.

My developer believes the problem is from Coldfusion, but I am not so sure.

Any thoughts on what the problem is and how to resolve it?

Thanks

    I have seen this too. It has something to do with the IIS Handlers that ColdFusion installs. Specfically, one of the ABOMapperCustom-XXXXXXX handlers.

    The way I resolved it (I think, it's been a while) was to remove the handler called ABOMapperCustom-XXXXXX that had the path *.

    I then replaced it with another wildcard handler called JWildcardHandler that had the exact same settings (same path and executable). After that, my HTTP auth worked fine, as did ColdFusion.
