Hi all,

I am running a website on a windows 2003 r2 server.
The website is configured to use integrated security.

If I try to access the website, I get an authentication box where I type in
the username and password, but the prompt keeps coming back.
If I put the website in the intranet zones and configure Internet explorer
to automatically send the credentials to pages in the intranet zone the
website is displayed succesfully.

Can anyone make some sense out of this, and point me in the right direction
to get this resolved?

If your website name is FQDN or has dots in it, IE will assume it
belongs to the Internet Zone (which does not auto-login) unless you
put it into Intranet Zone (which does auto-login).

Since you say that auto-login works, you need to check the IIS log
files for the exact reason why your manual login attempts fail or
repeatedly return.

Is there a specific log file I should check?

IIS only produces one series of log files, grouped by date by default,
in %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC###\*.log

You will need to locate within the log file the 401.x entry by date/
time/request and report the sc-status, sc-substatus, and sc-win32error
data fields.

Have you tried entering your domain name before the user name...

domain\username

It sometimes helps.
