I have deployed an MVC 3 website on IIS of my Windows Server 2003 edition. I have set the authentication to Basic, Integrated, and Windows in order to enable site to use Windows authentication, and automatically log in into website if the user has launched the site from the same domain. If user access the site from another domain, it should prompt the Windows credentials and should allow user to log in.
However the problem is that, user is presented with Windows login prompt every time (irrespective to same or different domain), and also when user provides valid credentials it doesn't allow user to access the site.
What could be the problem here? Or, can anyone provide me proper guide to configure IIS to use Windows Authentication while deployed on Windows Server 2003?
What is the version of IIS you are using ? Could you try to force NTLM authentication and see whether it will change anything ? Followin technet article will tell you how to change to NTML http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/7258232a-5e16-4a83-b76e-11e07c3f2615.mspx?mfr=true. Please backup the server/iis configs before attempting any modifications to the metabase

I am moving some old web applications from an old Server to a Server 2016. We are using a domain account for the application identity and we need to use windows authentication. I am getting a 401.3 error when I try a test.html page on the server. I am only getting this for static content though as I tried a home.aspx page and that page worked.
Things I have tried/checked
Static Content is installed under the Common HTTP Features
The domain account used for the app pool has full access to the directory containing test.html
Tried NTLM first as provider instead of Negotiate on IIS Windows Authentication Providers
Tried "Enable Kernel-mode authentication" checked and unchecked
Tried all settings of "Extended Protection" under Advanced settings for windows authentication.
Tried ProcMon. All I get when I filter for test.html is 2 QueryOpen operations with result SUCCESS
The solution for this was that we need to have the account that was running the application pool set up in the "Impersonate a client after authentication." Our local group policy had this locked down. I am guessing the default install may have IIS_USRS group in this policy but our server did not.
There is a third-party Systems, Its authentication is through IIS Windows Authentication(Integration AD).
Now,I want to realize single signon with sharepoint. I know Sharepoint 2010 has a SSS services
and I can config it. My Question : Even though I can get the account and password, how can I give them to third-party System, then sign on the System's specified web pages.
I am using a digest like (but not digest) custom authentication scheme where the authentication header field of the http request contains username:encryptedtokendata
I do not have any problems with this scheme on on Windows 7 and Azure emulator. However when I deployed my service to Azure's Windows 2008 Server SP2 my authentication header fails to make it through to my wcf service. It is null.
IIS on Windows 7 & Windows 2008 Server has both anonymous and membership authentications enabled (because i use membership for certain authentications). Every other authentication is disabled.
Any ideas what might be causing this issue for me? I searched stack-overflow and google up and down without any luck.
I would check and make sure your authentication module is getting installed in Azure and that it is listed correctly in IIS there. You should be able to remote into the instance and troubleshoot it just like you would on premise.
is there any way to use windows authentication in ASP.NET without needing a windows account? I need a virtual directory to be passworded using the browser authentication prompt.
If you're using Windows Authentication, you need a Windows account to authenticate against.
If you're up for the challenge, you can set your application up to use ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode). It'll give you way to have accounts that are application specific rather than Domain Wide.
I have just installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and therefore IIS6 (comes as standard). I have also install the windows component that enable the administration of IIS from the browser (https://server:8098/). The problem I have is that I have to log-in to this tool but the Server Administrator u/name and p/word does not let me in.
The Windows documentation on this tool (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324282) says "You are prompted for a user name and password that exist on the Web Server" but none of the standard user acounts on the server let me in.
Thanks,
Here are a couple ideas:
Take a look at the security log on the server for clues.
Look at the "Directory Security" tab on the properties of the admin site and ensure "Enable anonymous access" is unchecked. You will need to use "Integrated Windows authentication" or "Basic authentication". If you use Basic auth then the password is sent across then network base64 encoded - you will want to use SSL to encrypt it.
Is there a specific requirement to use the web tools? You can download Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager for Windows XP from Microsoft and run it from a client.
I'm not so sure now, haven't set up a Win 2003 box in a while but as far as I remember you have to activate remote desktop first and then you can use a RDP client to access the server. I recommend that over the ActiveX RDP client.
Is the server part of a domain? It may be defaulting to a domain username/password combo rather than a local username/password.
Try "server.domain.local\administrator" or "administrator#server.domain.local".
I would check the permissions on that site in IIS - make sure you are using an account that is a member of a group specifically assigned permissions. I understand that the builtin admin account is not working but its possible the site permissions have changed removing that account or group. - hope that makes some sort of sense
This might be unlikely, but are you trying to use a username that has a blank password? Windows restricts remote access when using those accounts.
If that's the case, you can check the Group Policy (gpedit.msc for local computer, or the one for domains if it's in a domain.):
Computer Configuration
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only
