Hi Patrick,

If you have Basic Authentication disabled in IIS, then you were not
prompted with a Basic prompt. Do you have Integrated Windows
Authentication selected? If so, you were probably prompted by that.
Integrated authentication will prompt if the prerequisites for transparent
authentication are not being met. This article outlines the prerequisites:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q258063

An Integrated prompt differs from a Basic prompt in that an Integrated
prompt will have a Domain field in addition to Username and Password. Was
this what you were seeing?

| Hi,
|
| While using AD name mapping into IIS Server, I made a
| mistake : I mapped one certificate on two different user
| accounts.
|
| When trying to connect to my web site, I was told by my
| browser to chose a certificate (all right). I choose the
| certificate I'm speaking about. This certificate was
| accepted by IIS, but then, my browser displayed the popup
| for basic authentication (basic authentication was
| inactivated on my web site ! ).
|
| I think IIS found 2 users in AD corresponding to that
| certificate, and was unable to chose the right one. Then,
| IIS downgraded from strong auhentication to basic
| authentication in order to force me to chose the right
| account.
|
| Is this the real behaviour of IIS in these
| circumstancies ? Is there some information about that on
| Microsoft Web Site (I didn't find any).
|
| Why is it possible to map one certificate on two different
| user accounts without beeing warned about ?
|
| Thank's for your informations.
|
| P. FUSTINONI
