Hi,

I read that integrated windows authentification in IIS only works with IE
and not over http-proxy connections.
Suppose i have an application which must be reached by every domain-users
from internet, but some has other browser not compatible with integrated
windows authentification, what's the best alternative?
Thanks
Phil

Hi,

Integrated Windows Authentication includes NTLM, which is currently
supported by IE, Firefox, Opera (and probably most other major browsers).

However, it does not work through most proxy servers.

If this is a problem, you need to use some other authentication mechanism
(e.g. Basic or Digest).

There is a fair amount of information to cover, and I've included a starter
in this month's IIS Insider column:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/insider/default.mspx
(note, the link above will shortly refer to the May IIS Insider column, so
you'll need to find the April edition in the archives, there is a link down
the bottom of the page)

Cheers
Ken
