RavenDB: Windows user credentials insufficient for write access

Question

I am trying to use the RavenDB web / silverlight web interface to create databases and test data, and I am asked to enter a username / password. This is good, and the documentation at http://blogs.hibernatingrhinos.com/5/ravendb-in-practice-part-1-an-introduction-to-ravendb says that I should use my Windows credentials:

By default, RavenDB allows anonymous access only for read requests (HTTP GET), and since we are creating data, we need to provide a username and password. You can control this by changing the AnonymousAccess parameter in the server configuration file.

Enter your username and password for your Windows account, and sample data will be generated for you.

However, the dialogue appears again. Several attempts later, and with an authorization error, it fails.

I use the Raven Silverlight client through Google Chrome Windows XP Home SP3 and did not change the settings of RavenDB (I want it to work with authentication, and not avoid the problem).

Answer 1

1) Make sure that you grant user read / write permissions to the directory where raven is installed.

2) Make sure you install in web.config
