IIS Authentication problem

Hello guys,

One of our users is trying to access an website where authentication is required. We are running Astaro 7.402. The destination webserver is IIS. I tried the following:

- Surf to the site with Internet Explorer, without proxy. Authentication window appears.
- Surf to the site with Internet Explorer, with proxy. Authentication window doesn't appear.
- Surf to the site with Mozilla Firefox, without proxy. Authentication window appears.
- Surf to the site with Mozilla Firefox, with proxy. Authentication window appears.

I also sniffed the headers from the destination site.

Without proxy:

It seems that Astaro strips one of the two WWW-Authenticate arguments. Is there an solution for this problem. I tried searching the forum, but didn't find a good solution for this. 

Thanks in advance,

Jasper

  • I have a similar issue with SharePoint hosted sites using NTLM authentification but no fix.

    Have you tried a bowser exception for this site?
  • Just to try to find the bug, does your problem go away if you restart ntlm?

    var/mdw/scripts/ntlm restart

    Cheers - Bob

  • Sorry that I didn't mention it, but we do not need automated authentication using NTLM, but just a window which asks the login credentials. When surfing the web using Astaro, it seems that Astaro filters one of the two headers, which is the WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate argument which is probably the cause IE doesn't get what I want.
