Re: Allowing outside users access to company Intranet (anonymous)

Basic authentication sends passwords in clear text anyhow which is not
desirable for most. If the intranet web server is not available to users
outside of the network and your users can get the access they need I would
not worry too much about using anonymous access if nothing sensitive is on
the web server. Checking the security log of the web server may give a clue
as to why your current authentication is failing particularly if you enable
auditing of privilege use for failure also.

We are currently having problems with basic authentication with users
trying
to access the company intranet and I was curious if that I turned off
basic
auth and allowed anonymous access would that be a big security issue since
the info on our intranet is not confidential. Any thoughts would be
greatly
appreciated.
