SharePoint password prompting
|
|
| MichaelHensley 2005-04-20, 5:51 pm |
| I have SharePoint installed on Windows Server 2003. I'm accessing it form IE6
on a Windows XP computer logged into the same domain as the server. I'm
attempting to configure it so that I don't get prompted for a username and
password; however, nothing I do seems to work. I've tried integrated Windows
authentication, and digest authentication.
We have a single forest, a single tree, a single site, and a single domain.
Any suggestions, or any additional information I can provide?
Thanks!

| FYI: Sharepoint has nothing to do with IIS -- it is a separate product built
on top of IIS.
Default configuration uses Integrated authentication and should work that
way be default.
Common Mistake:
Can you give the actual URL you use to access the website. IE will not
auto-login if you give a URL whose server name has dots in it (it thinks it
is Internet and does not auto-login by default there). i.e.
http://server.local/SharepointSite1
If that doesn't solve it, can you give the web log entries that correspond
to your requests that trigger the password popup. They will be in
%windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log where # is the ID of the Sharepoint
Website (you figure this out from within IIS Manager UI, not Sharepoint's
Administration UI which abstracts this sort of detail away from you).

Thanks! I was aware of that, but I mentioned it for the sake of completeness.

And that was the answer! I looked through quite a bit of documentation, and
did a degree of online searching as well, before posting. If you can direct
me to a resource where I would have found this answer, I would be pleased to
add it to my collection.
Thanks for the quick, accurate response!

| Hi,
As you can see this is mainly an IE behavior, regarding to when it
will(not) send current logon user's credential to automatically
perform an integrated windows authentication with IIS. If you search
on microsoft.com with the key words like:
internet explorer prompt integrated windows authentication
You should get an article like below one which well addresses this
problem:
Internet Explorer May Prompt You for a Password

Hope the info helps. Thanks.
