Hi, Can we independently of the browser settings force the logon prompt in sharepoint (intranet) web site which is out of the box. This is required for the website im developing right now....its kind of urgent. Thanks Manu

If the site is set to run in NTLM authentication - i.e. windows auth, and if the site is within the trusted sites in IE, then it won't prompt. Removing the site as trusted, will force a login prompt. Alternativly you could use Microsoft UAG or ISA to handle the authentication, which will force a login prompt even if the site is listed within IE as trusted.Regards | Aaron www.aaron-rendell.co.uk | SharePoint Consultant | Microsoft Gold Partner - Silversands, Poole, Dorset, England

I believe using Basic authentication will also force a prompt to login, regardless of the browser. While it's not the most secure authentication, you can mitigate those issues with a few additional security measures, such as SSL. http://donahoo-development.com
