"HTTP Error 401. The requested resource requires user authentication" error is seen while accessing the vanilla instance of MS CRM 2011

Question
-
Hello,
We have installed CRM 2011 in a server and when trying to access vanilla instance, it is throwing an error message "HTTP Error 401. The requested resource requires user authentication" and couldn't access the application.
However, we imported a new organization from a backup file. When tried to access this instance, we found the same problem but when changing the url of this instance to local host we could access CRM.
What might be the cause for this issue?
Thanks & Regards,

Can you open your Deployment Manager and try browsing to the site from the Org in the Deployment Manager. Also, check the Org properties in the Deployment Manager to ensure they are set correctly. Let us know the result.

This is a dated question, but I've come across this issue in Dynamics CRM 2016. After adding the SPNs for the CRM App user, you also need to do the following in IIS:
- Open IIS
- Navigate to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website
- In the "Management" section, open "Configuration Editor"
- Go to the following setting: system.webServer --> security --> authentication --> windowsAuthentication
- Change "useAppPoolCredentials" from "False" to "True"
- Click "Apply" on the right-hand side
- Do an "iisreset" on the server
Hope that helps!
