digest authentication - which port
|

| hi
we have some folders with member logins
i have defined a new user called "member"
and saved the password as "reversed" (found under account options)
then i have ticked in IIS security the folder "member" as:
- windows authentication
- cleartext
- digest
(all 3 boxes)
it works perfectly for most users, even with netscape
but we have some people behind a firewall, where this is not working
must have something to do with hash password sending or something like this
which ports and protocolls must a admin open in his firewall, so digest
resp.
password protected folders in IIS do work ?
thank you for any hint

| Hi,
The server sends the authentication options in order of the strongest to the
weakest. The browser picks the highest option that it supports. So, IE, and
Mozilla will always pick Windows Authentication (NTLM) before Digest. NTLM
does not work through most proxy servers.
Digest authentication requires no other ports than port 80, and works
through proxy servers, *but* you need to uncheck IWA.
Cheers
