I have an intranet site on my LAN which has "anonymous access" turned
OFF, and "integrated Windows authentication" turned on. This allows
me to access the "AUTH_USER" server variable, which I use to look up
application rights in SQL Server. With IE6 clients, this has worked
flawlessly for several years.
Our users are currently running IE6, but my parent agency has
announced an upgrade to IE7 beginning next month, so I have installed
IE7 on a couple machines for testing. What I have observed is that
the AUTH_USER variable is sporadically not available to ASP, when
connecting from the IE7 client. This has the effect of prompting the
user for Windows authentication when they attempt to open any page on
my site. I desperately want to avoid this.
Does anyone know a) why IE7 results in the AUTH_USER variable
sporadically not being available to ASP, and b) if there is anything I
can configure on either client or server that will shore up this flaw?
