Intranet asp.net sites

[David C]

For some reason we are now getting a pop-up prompt for username and password
on our asp.net intranet internal web sites when we open them in Firefox
3.0.5

The sites are Windows authentication only but they never got prompts before.
IE7 or IE8 are fine. What do I have to do to get rid of the prompts?
Thanks.

Hello David,

For some reason we are now getting a pop-up prompt for username and
password on our asp.net intranet internal web sites when we open them
in Firefox 3.0.5

The sites are Windows authentication only but they never got prompts
before. IE7 or IE8 are fine. What do I have to do to get rid of the
prompts? Thanks.

This is a security feature in Forefox. It prevents your credentials being
passed to just any computer.
There is a whitelist you can set up in the firefox preferences.

Navigate to this address in Firefox:
about:config

Filter on auth and look up the exact syntax on the mozilla website.

You'll have to distribute these settings to all your Firefox installations.

Thank you both.
