I've set up IIS on a Windows 2003 server to use Integrated Windows
authentication.  This works the way I expect it to on site - users who
are logged into our domain can reach the website no problem.

What I'm having an issue with (of sorts) is users off site. Using IE6
they are forced to log in using domainname\username and password - in
other browsers like Firefox they can just type in username and
password, without the domain name.

I guess my question is; are there any settings in IIS that could let
the users log on using IE6 without typing in the domainname\ part? Or
is that more of an IE question?

I know typing in the "domainname\" part sounds like a minute detail,
but some users logging onto out intranet from home will likely not
remember/understand that part of the login process.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Remi

Hi Remi,

This would be possible if you (also) selected Basic Authentication and
selected "Default Domain". Now you would also have to configure SSL to
protect the data (username and password) exchanged between client and
computer.

Mm.. this is interesting, I wonder how firefox know about the 'domain'
detail.
Anyway, you defaultdomain is not configured for IWA method, only basic auth
support this.

Also, if you have another domain for auth. how would you do it with firefox
?

I've been told the latest version of Firefox will pass credentials for
Windows Authentication as IE does.  Haven't tried it though.

Yes, I'm aware  just like to know more about the version.

not the same ? do we specify domainname\username also ?
