Do any of the non-MS browsers (eg Opera, Firefox, etc) integrate seamlessly with Windows Authentication? If I use Internet Explorer to access an intranet site that is running with Windows Authentication enabled is IIS, then I get straight to the content (as long as I am currently logged onto the company domain).
However, if I use Opera I am prompted to provide my user and password for the domain. Is there any way that this can be "avoided" and the fact that I am currently logged onto the domain is sufficient for me to access the site content?
Sure, I can provide my credentials and select the option to remember them, but I will then have to change them after my current password expires.
Many Thanks
Gary

i belive the logged in status is based on that session, ie you have to login though each browser . but don't quote me on that...lol  |

That is how I believe it is for all browsers except Internet Explorer.
Using IE I dont have to provode any credentials as I have already been authenticated on the domain when I logged into Windows.
Why would it be that other browsers cannot do this?

I find the same thing. I guess MS in integrating IE into the OS that they can do this, whereby with other browser you can not because they are not integrated into the OS. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
