ASP.NET 2.0 and Firefox

[Sönke Greve]

Hi,
does anyone know why the Firefoxbrowser requires local logindata when you
try to access a local asp.net 2.0 site?
Couldn't find anything in the Net.

Hello Sönke,

are you running IIS or the integrated webserver?

Hello Sönke,

are you running IIS or the integrated webserver?

Maybe because you're using Windows Authentication on your IIS, and
in Firefox this data don't come with. Just switch to Basic
Authentication and switch off Integrated Windows Authentication,
then you'll see the login box also in Internet Explorer.

Aaaaah,
just played around with the User Permissions of the local Folder. Seems that
the IE uses the ASPNET user while other Browser use another useraccount. I
just gave everyone full access to the folder, and the Login prompt never
appeared again - strange, but good to know

Thanks anyway

it is what i mentioned - you just had to give the iusr
access to you application directory on filesystem -
under this account is your web in iis running by default.
the internet explorer used the windows account which it
is runngy by to authenticate, all other browsers don't
because they aren't integrated in the operating system
like the ie.

greetings.
