I am running on windows XP IIS 5.1
When I try to go into localhost in IE it works fine but in Firefox it asks me to enter user name and password.
In my IIS configuration I have ticked to use Anonymoous access under Authentication.
I've recently enabled Digest Authentication on an intranet website/application I am creating for my company in ASP.NET.
The reason I have done so is because Windows Authentication seemed to only work for some users, and not for others. I could not figure out why nor do I know enough about IIS to try and trace the issue. After some trial and error, I found that digest authentication seemed to give me the behaviour that I wanted. That is: allow only users with a valid account on the domain to log in to the website with their credentials.
The problem now, is that Firefox (3+) seems to ask for the user to authenticate on every HTTP request sent to the server. This does not appear to occur in Internet Explorer (6+) or Chrome.
I've tried searching for solutions but I always arrive at dead-ends. I'll find a discussion about the issue, and every posted solution leads to a dead link...or it's on Experts Exchange and I don't have access to view to solution.
The issue appears to be related (from what I've read) to the way the different browsers send their authentication headers vs how IIS interprets them. I'm not sure what I can do to change this though? One of the solutions I had found mentioned writing an ISAPI filter to fix this, but of course the link to the finished filter was broken and I have no idea how to go about making one myself.
I've tried messing with the NTLM and other auth related strings in about:config to try and force Firefox to trust my server but that doesn't seem to work either.
From a few other sources I've read, it appears that everything should work if I switch back to Windows Authentication, but then I'm back at square one where the authentication would work only for some users and not others.
A solution for either problem would work for me, but I have very little information for the Windows Authentication issue. If someone could guide me through tracing the problem I'd gladly post more information for it as well.

I have an intranet that gets the current logged in user through active directory. When a user is locked out they get a windows prompt to enter their username and password. Is there a way for me to catch this and redirect them to a page where they are asked to enter their credentials again or tell them that their account might be locked out and to contact the help desk?
View 1 RepliesMy IIS server requires authentication to access the localserver this is causing android WebView component to get 403 error once directed the the url if I uncheck Basic Authentication under Directory found in Computer Management -> Web Sites -> Properties I would receive 403 error(Access Denied) this time including my browser
once I restart my computer How do I disable authentication without losing access to it? if this is not possible Is there a way to allow android WebView enter the username and password automatically to prevent 403 error?
Over the past two weeks or so, I've been getting feedback from users on my site that a popup box is interferring with their use of my search page. From the research I've done, it appears only Firefox users are having this problem. I haven't changed my site, so I can't figure out why this is happening. Has anyone successfully corrected this problem. It's costing me traffic, so I have to figure this out. My site is based on the classified starterkit.

I have a Asp.net web site built on C# with Forms Authentication. We use an Active Directory to authenticate the users, and everything works fine. But today we realized that it's possible to login to any account by just entering the username and click Login, without supplying any password! This is only happening on the development environment running on localhost , but I don't like it...
I've never seen this behaviour before, and would really like someone to explain how this could happen. Is this a developer feature built by Microsoft? Or did someone at my office make a backdoor without telling the rest? I will investigate this last option further, but until then - have anyone encountered this before?

Well, I have a website with login feature (username and password fields). . I then changed the ID and NAME attributes of the textbox. (I made sure the client Id has changed). How come? Doesn't the browser relate usernames stored in history to the ID of textbox? I'm using asp.net!
View 2 RepliesI have to set enter key event to text box, it work fine in IE, but not in firefox.
Here my code:
function DoClickToButton() {
var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : (event.which ? event.which : event.charCode));
alert(keycode);
if (keycode == 13) {
document.getElementById('<%=Button1.ClientID %>').click(); return false;
}
else {
return true
};
}
I have an aspx box with with to asp controls; one text box for entering a password and a button for submitting. Now, when the user enters a password he has to click the submit button.
I want to set it up so the after the user enters a password all he has to do is hit the enter key on the keyboad instead of having to click the submit button. I want it to work just like it does on this forum; all I have to do is enter my user name and password and hit the enter key on the keyboad. The only difference is that I only have a password field and not a user name field.
I tried setting the password to autopost back and it didn't work or at least I didn't have the code correct.
Looking at the html below, why I can not get the right side of the username and password textboxes to lign up underneath eachother?

I am developing a .net application using Web Services, and the application is consuming them using Spring.Net WebServiceProxyFactory. I need to send to the web service the username and password of the user that is logged in to the application, consuming the web service. Reading some forum post [URL] they seem to refer to an example that used to be in the spring documentation [URL], an example of how using SOAP headers for authentication using the WebServiceExporter and WebServiceProxyFactory, but the link to the file is broken. Do you know a way that I can send the user credentials as a soap header using spring.net? Or any data (for example, a token ID that the web service will use later to get the user credentials).
View 1 RepliesI have created a test user/password on my web site. The intent is to have prospective clients login and try out the tool. Instead of telling them the userid/password of the test user, I'd like to tweak the Login wizard.
In the Load event, I was able to specify login1.UserName = "test user"
But when I try to specify the password, I'm told it is a readonly field. How can I 'force' a specific password? Or, how can I call the login event directly and pass the needed values?
I designed a website, in login page username and password should be encrypted and sent to server for validation. How to do this.
