I can access admin/ModuleAdministration.wc without problems but /admin/wc.wc?wwmaint~showlog gives 401 Unauthorized. Something has to be changed but what?

Yes the loopback protection can be a pain in the ass to figure out.

It's always enabled on server versions, and on some versions of client side Windows.

The Web Connection IIS Install script includes a (commented) line to automatically disable that annoying feature.

It works if I use AdminAccount="ANY" in web.config. If I put my own domain account, it gives 401 if it contains the domain part (DOMAIN/username). Without the domain it's OK.

Solved, I had to give right permissions for the Server Account (Application Pool).

Hmmm... what permissions if I may ask?

Authentication should work regardless what account the application pool uses, unless that account doesn't have access to the domain. In order to validate the domain has to be accessible to the host account in the Application Pool.
