Only Firefox asks for authentication

[Zeba]

Hi guys,

I've turned my anonymous logon off in IIS in myDefaultWebsite->mySite-

Properties->Directory Security->Edit. and I have turned Integrated

Windows Security on. However only Firefox asks for the
authentication(windows userid & password) when I try to access the
page. Why is this ?

Thanks,

Internet Explorer on localhost will by default automatically authenticate
using passthrough authentication - it's transparent behind the scenes. This
is configurable in the IE Advanced options however and you can force IE to
explicitly prompt for user name and password instead of authenticating with
your default credentials.

If in doubt you can always check for your true login status with:

<%= this.Page.User.Identity.Name %> and it should show you the authenticated
user if you are logged in (or empty if not).

You should configure FF to skip the login window.

In the FF address bar type

about:config

Find the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris key and set that
key's value to a name of your server (e.g. www.intranet.com)

If you have more than one server you want NTLM auth for, separate
names with a comma...
