MultiHosting & authentication [with the username]
|
|
|
| Hi all,
Context :
I've installed multiple host on the same IIS Web Server. All is configured
with IIS Basic Authentication and Windows Integrated Authentication.
The Home Page on the first Site in IIS call an image which is stored on a
second "virtual" server (on the same machine but with an other host header -
multihosting).
On LAN, everything works fine because Windows Authentication send
automatically the user credentials to the web servers.But when you are
trying to connect to the same page trought a firewall (from Internet for
example), the user have to enter is username and password twice (one for the
first web server and second for the second server wich have the image)...
It's quite difficult for users to understand this problem.
So, is it possible in IIS to specifiy that the first credentials sent to the
first server msut be used on the secound server to authenticate the user ??
Thanks for your help.
Regards.
AB.
