hi guys!!!
this is for the first time i'm facing this windows authentication.
please forgive me if i'm repeating the question again.

i'm using asp.net 2.0 and IIS 5.1. i've successfully implimented
windows authentication. but when ever u open the default page in the
browser the windows Logon dialog box gets popup for asking username and
password.

Is there any way to stop this dialog box from popping up and use the
user information who is already logged in to the windows? i tried
different way to get rid of it. but it is not getting solved.

the strange thing i've seen is, when i run the project on my machine,
it dont ask me for username and password but when i ask other to open a
page from my pc using their broweser, they are asked for username and
password.

please please if anyone knows how to solve this, let me know.

thanks,
Lucky

Could be a number of things.

* physical directory permissions

* Is your web site running on a multi dot domain name? example
www.iisfaq.com (more than 1 dot)? or on an IP Address?

What does IE display at the bottom right corner of the status bar?

Is it on the Internet or Intranet? IE won't pass credentials across the
Internet.

If it is not Trusted Site or Local Intranet then IE will not pass your
credentials to the web site.

Are your users going through a proxy server? Most proxy servers will not
pass credentials....

Is Windows Autnentication enabled on the Web Site directory security dialog?

Hi Chris,

thanks for your Questions. your Qs helped me to find out the answer to
my question. yes my site will run on the intranet. and yes i've enabled
intigrated windows authentication in IIS but i dont know about the
proxy server.

anyways, my problem got solved now. one of the member of the google
groups passed me this link http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258063
which has the answer to my question in detail.

thanks for help,
Lucky
