    IIS showing windows login, for asp.net app, in certain cases.

    Hello,

    We have an asp.net app, and to change from forms authentication to windows a/d we usually just change the authentication mode in the web.config, and it works without a problem.

     We have one user who still receives the windows login in certain cases.  If he uses browse in IIS no problem and same with localhost, and from a client if he uses the machine name not a problem.  Using the url he setup in the host headers it is a problem. I read an article on security and loopbacks, and made the necessary changes but still nothing.

    The strange part is that he's the only one to report this problem - so can anyone think of anything or experienced this?

    Any info or help or even links would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Ak

    The only thing I can think of is their IE settings aren't set to default.  Have them add the site as a trusted site, and it should no longer prompt them for credentials.

     In IE it's under Tools >> Internet Options >> Security

    Thank you for your help, but we put the site into the trusted zone, but to no avail.

    Tested with Firefox still same problem - could this be a group policy issue?

    Thanks,

    Andy
