Re: Authentication with IE

To further this explanation (because I have experienced the same issue)

When I am prompted to log into the site, I enter my username and password.
It then returns back with the local server as the prefix as opposed to the
Default Domain name entered.

I.E.
Site name is www.mysite.com
Domain name is MyDomain

If I just enter:
username
password

I am not authenticated and the dialogue then repopulates the username name
field as such:

www.mysite.com\username

Where the desired behavior is that it will automatically check the Default
Domain specified within IIS:

MyDomain\username or username@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Why are we required to specify the Domain when we login when it is already
specified in IIS?

One assumption I have is that this is an IE security setting.

Thanks.

I am not sure I was clear with my question. I want the authentication box
when a user goes to a restricted site (example. The directory ntfs
permissions prompts for authenticaton). But what is happening under IE, is
that when you enther the username and password it tries to authenticate
locally to the server instead of the domain. Does that make more sense?

Here is my setup: IIS 6 on Windows 2003 member server
-IIS Server called serverA.foo.com
- I have a virtual directory to a webpage
I have setup authentication on the web page to 'Integrated Windows
Authentication' and 'Basic authentication'.
- default domain: foo.com
- Realm: foo.com

I want the users to authenticate against foo.com, not against
serverA.foo.com.
If I browser to the page with Firefox or Mozilla the user enters the
username and password and they are authenticated to foo.com with no
problems.

If I browse to the page with IE and enter a username and password, it
will
fail and in the username box show 'serverA.foo.com/username'; I am
assuming
it is authenticating locally. If I enter foo.com/username and password
it
works fine. But I want my server to automatically authenticate to
foo.com
with IE also. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

Firefox and Mozilla don't authenticate automatically with IWA / NTLM
unless an extra entry is made in the config file. I think if you turn
off basic authentication you won't be asked for a username/password in
IE, but FF/Moz will still ask for one.
