I've been experiencing some authentication problems with CMS 2002 on my mach
ine.  I've checked some previous postings regarding this issue; and although
 similar, my problem appears to be slightly different.

On my local machine (WinXP), I get prompted to authenticate to access the si
te; but yet on the test server (Win2000) I do not.  Both machines are connec
ted to the same domain, the IIS settings for both sites are identical.  In f
act, even if I turn on anon
ymous access on my local machine, I still get prompted.  I even set to allow
 anonymous access in the web config locally, but no dice.  I am logged onto 
my machine with an administrative account in CMS and it still has no effect.

This seems to go against every convention I can think of.  There was a previ
ous posting about using adsutil.vbs to change authentication locally to NTLM
.  I have run this already and still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

In fact, even if I turn on anonymous access on my local machine, I still get
prompted.  I even set to allow anonymous access in the web config locally,
but no dice.  I am logged onto my machine with an administrative account in
CMS and it still has no effect.

Stefan,

I checked into that, and the network access setting is already set to "Users
 authenticate as themselves"..

Hi Jay,

which zone does the affected server below to?
Check in lower right edge of the IE window.
Is it the Intranet zone?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hey Stefan,

Yes, it appears as part of the local Intranet zone.

If you enter the credentials of your currently logged in user, does it work
or do you need different credentials?

Cheers,
Stefan.

Yes, it works just fine.  Although, the current user (me) has admin privlege
s.  I just performed an additional test and no matter who I log in as, it wo
rks fine.

Hi Jay,

then it seems to be an issue that IE does for some reason not automatically
send the credentials.
Please check the IE settings.

Cheers,
Stefan.

But with both my workstation and the server using the security context of th
e Intranet zone; why do the credentials get passed to the server properly; b
ut not the localhost?

No idea.
Please check the IIS log if the credentials are sent.

Cheers,
Stefan
