Hi I have a problem with my Sharepoint portal, the problem is that when
people not on our site but other places. EIther they have their own domain or
are just in a workgroup. They login to the portal , no problem but when they
try to open up a document on a document library they are asked to login again
if they do the document opens up but I want to get rid of this second login.
I have no idea, I've already looked at the IIS settings and it is set to
Windows Authentication only nothing else. Anyone have any idea? Thanks.

"Sharepoint portal" is a confusing term.

This is the newsgroup for Windows SharePoint Services (not a portal); the
newsgroup for SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is
microsoft.public.sharepoint.portal (is a portal!).

I have a feeling there is a KB article for this but when I saw a similar
question earlier today and looked for it, I couldn't find it.

Maybe it's just the old favourite of getting your users to put the
SharePoint (either SPS 2003 or WSS!) site in their Trusted Sites list. Have
you tried that ?

This pass through authentication only works along with Windows XP credential
manager feature.

When you put the domain\username for username, and the user's password in
the prompt - there's a checkbox that allows you to SAVE this info. This
info is stored, BUT only works with the site's URL in your Internet
Explorer's TRUSTED SITES. It's a combination of OS and settings - not just
one thing.
