Credentials pop-up's appearing intermittently on MOSS Site
Hi, We have one MOSS Site on which NTLM Integrated authentication is enabled. Site works fine, but sometimes it starts asking credentials from the user intermittently. And it wont stop then and after, so finally user have to kill the internet explorer session to get out of this issue. Please advise on the same what can be the source of this issue.

Hi have you tried to access the same site from some other machine when it started asking credentials from some specific computer? Most of the times its a local machine browser issue. Following is the step by step process to make sure that the browser is allowing the site content properly Actually I copied this from one other posting in a different thread and found it well documented..:) Please go through it and hope this helps resolving the issue. Attention: Only perform the solution on your own computer. Only perform this action on a password-protected computer. Never perform this action on a publicly accessible computer, i.e. at a library or internet cafe. Solution: Make the Portal a Trusted Site in Internet Explorer Another solution is to go into Internet Explorer and designate the portal as a "Trusted Site". Once a secure website is designated a "Trusted Site", you are never required to log on again, not even when you initially enter the site. For this reason, we ask that you take great care when implementing this solution. To make the portal a Trusted Site: 1. Open Internet Explorer 2. Log on to the portal home page 3. On the Internet Explorer tool bar, select the "Tools" menu, then select "Internet Options". 4. Select the "Security" and than "Trusted Sites" tab 5. Select the "Sites" button 6. Add the portal address in the "Add this website to the zone" box. Click "Add" and "Close". If the portal web address is not in the input field, then copy and paste it from the browser address at the top of your browser window. Do not check "Require server verificatoin (https) for all sites in this zone" 7. Click on the "Custom Level" button. 8. Scroll down to the middle and enable "Display mixed content" 9. Scroll down to the bottom Under "User Authentication/Logon", select "Automatic logon with Current Username and Password" and click "OK" 10. Click "OK" twice to close all dialog boxes 11. The next time you log on, be sure to select "Remember my password" Regards, Rohan

Hi, I would check the alternate access mapping settings in Central Admin Make sure the "Public URL for Zone" URL entry matches to what the end-user is hitting. If it doesn’t, you may get prompted for authentication. Also grab an end-user and have them repro the problem. When it produces, take a look at the IIS logs note the what resource it is trying to hit and the HTTP code at the very end. To aid in looking digging through the IIS logs, get Logparser (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=890cd06b-abf8-4c25-91b2-f8d975cf8c07&displaylang=en) and use this command: logparser -i:iisw3c "select * into output\iponly.csv from <IIS log> where c-ip = '<IP of your end-users box>'"Regards, Savoeurn Va Microsoft Online Community Support
