I could use anyone's help.
New to WSS3. Front -end is on W2k3r2sp2 with all udpates. Back-end is on
another box, also w2k3r2sp with sql2005 fully updated and service backed.
Everything worked great. Created and application and site. Accessible form
several locations on the local lan. added thing to it. life was good.
ultimately, i want internal and external access and single sign on? so I
thought during this early stage I would look at the different security
options.
I originally had it set with not allowing anonymous and windows integrated.
life was good with this at first.
I want to see what my local users would notice if I selected Digest
Authentication so I did it, tried it, still ok.
I unselected digest and selected .net - tried it, got the wizard about
connecting to a .net passport, etc I did not complete the process as I just
want to see what a user would get.
So, here's where my issue comes in - I went back to iis and went back to my
original settings - deselect anonymous and ONLY selected windows integrated.
Since this I have two issues that I don't know how to shake and could use a
hand.
#1 - On the front end server itself, I go to my sharepoint site, it asks for
credentials, I supply them a few times and then get the 401.1 invalid
credentials. However, I can go to any other machine on the lan and login to
the site just fine using those same credentials. I am logged into the
machines as the same user as well. I stuck at why the front end server
itself won't accept the same credentials I can use elsewhere anymore?
#2 - On the machine where I tested with the .net passport enable, every
login prompt is now of the .net passport style login instead of the plain
jane prompt - for example, normally its just a grey box with user, pass,
save checkbox and OK. Now, it includes the .net passport logo and links to
get a passport etc. I tried completely resetting the browser to defaults but
still can't get back to the plain login prompt. It still functions as far as
logging me into my sharepoint site, but I'd like to figure out how to get
back to original.
Can anyone offer any tips or help?
Thanks
