Author Windows Authentication how to avoid POP up

Hi All

I am facing one problem while accessing the website created in my local
system(Logged in a domain)



In IIS I enabled windows authentication for the site.

1) If I try to access the site like

http://IP address/ .. then the windows login pop up is coming



2) if I try

http://localhost it will not ask for the windows login pop up



How can I prevent the windows login pop in first case



Please give your comments



Thanks

Reji

make sure you are allowing annonymous connections to the website, this is
default behaviour. Also allow all computers and IP's access(again this is
default but can be changed)

IE treats dotted IP address as Internet, which is in a different Internet
Zone than localhost. It also has different auto-login behavior for those
Zones.

To prevent the login dialog, make sure to give IE a URL that goes into the
appropriate Zone with the appropriate auto-login behavior.

This is not an IIS issue because the browser is responsible for dealing with
authentication - which includes auto-login.
