ADFS and Opera web browser
We just recently implemented ADFS on a Windows 2003 R2 server. We have our site up and running and works with browsers such as IE and Firefox. Right now we are having a problem with the Opera 10 browser. When the user attempts to access an ADFS enabled app, they get redirected to our federation server for logon, but as soon as the redirect occurs, they are automatically met with this message (before the login screen even appears):"Your client is incapable of Basic Authentication, or you supplied a bad username/password"Any idea why Opera has issues with this.

don't you have any incorrect credentials stored in the opera browser for that URL?also how do you use ADFS on the web server - is that through the IIS extension for normal windows/basic authentication or is that built into you ASP.NET application itself?o.

We had a user report the problem to us, so I decided to try it myself witha fresh clean install of Opera 10. It hasn't been used for anything else and the results were identicle.There are two servers, one is our federation and account partner, the other is an ADFS web enabled server. We try loading our app off the ADFS enabled web server which then redirects to our federation server. The federatino server throws the error immediately.What we have done is taken the default installation of ADFS and modified the .Net codeto have a custom look and feel for our web site.Hopefully that answers your question.Programmer Analyst
