IIS Server Security >> Windows Integrated Authentication passed through a reverse proxy

by javacrack » Thu, 23 Sep 2004 19:17:44 GMT

Hi

I've got a Sharepoint 2003-Server which runs with integrated windows
authentication. Now I want to allow some customers to access that
server. The problem is that they have to authenticate through a
reverse-proxy (Novell iChain). Now I don't want that they have to
re-enter their user-credentials each time, the webserver wants to know
them. Is it possible, that the reverse proxy passes the credentials in
some way to the sharepoint-server?

If no, please let me know.

Thanks for answering.

I doubt IWA will work over proxy.
You could try basic authentication first, also you might
want to check with Novell on how they normal fufill this requirement.

2. Integrated Windows Authentication and Windows XP for ASP.NET Application 

We are running an IIS 5.1 on a Windows 2000 Server using Integrated
Windows Authentication to connect to our
ASP.NET intranet application.

All users are able to connect without having to enter their login name
and password. Only users running IE on a Windows XP platform (both with
and without SP2) are being redirected to the website's login screen as
their windows authentication is failing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be?

We have made sure that the IE setting 'Enable Integrated Windows
Authentication' box is checked for the problem users.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

6. Integrated Windows Authentication and Windows XP 

We are running an IIS 5 server on a Windows 2000 Server 
using Integrated Windows Authentication to connect to our 
ASP.NET application.

All are able to connect properly except those users 
running IE on a Windows XP platform (both with and without 
SP2). We traced the problem to the use of 
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER").

This is returning an empty string for XP users as it 
appears their logon credentials are not being passed 
properly.

If we switch to Basic or Anonymous authentication 
everything works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be? 
I've done a lot of searching but could not find any 
solutions.

TIA.
