Re: Single authentication for multiple IIS 6 servers

Hi,

"Yes", this is by design. It's the way the HTTP specification works.

However, most browsers can be configured to attempt an "auto logon" with the
currently logged on user's credentials, and if that fails, then prompt the
user to supply alternate credentials.

Assuming you are using IE, add the sites to the user's Intranet Security
zone in IE, and auto logon should kick in for you.

Cheers
Ken

: Environment:
: . We have several IIS servers, one for each of the following: Exchange
2003
: OWA, Sharepoint 2003, and CRM 3.
: . All are Windows 2003 and part of the same domain
: . Web access is set to integrated on all servers.
: . Network is behind a Symantec Enterprise Firewall v8.
:
: Scenario:
: . From outside of our network, a user logs into OWA with their domain
: credentials (domain\username) and checks their email. All works fine.
: . From OWA, without closing the browser window, the user connects to our
: Sharepoint 2003 server (or CRM 3) and is prompted for credentials again.
:
: Questions:
: . Is this behavior by design?
: . Is there a way to make it so users do not have to login to every server?
: A "one-login-fits-all" solution.

:
: Again, any assistance is much appreciated,
