Windows Authentication

I could have sworn I saw some info on how to set up Windows authentication for the web client but I must be either mistaken or blind because I can't find it now.
Would anybody please care to remind me where that is?
Thanks

As Mike said, it is only in SP1. Basically, you'd have users navigate to windows.aspx, instead of login.aspx, and they'll be authenticated from their windows login.

| Yep - it is in the install doc just as Mike pointed out. Works fine. I had to laugh at the bit where they recommend that you run the web app as a DOMAIN ADMINISTRATOR but was happy to find out it wasn't necessary, after a few tweaks (I couldn't see myself having to deliver that one to the customer's IT staff). |

Hi,
Ive just been battling with Windows authentication and cannot get it to work. I have followed steps in the SP2 implementation guide, which included steps:
Run setspn for the user that runs the website - done..
Put the user trying to log into the Permissions of the SlxClient directory - done..
Change the User properties in Administrator to use Windows Authentication - done...
Check "Integrated Windows Authentication" etc on SLXClient - done...
When I try to login by browsing to the windows.aspx page, it just redirects me to the Login.aspx page where I need to put my details in.
Anybody see any stages that are missing form the Sp2 documentation??
Many thanks,
Nick |

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the pointer - Nick thanks for writing that very useful to know. I am a bit stuck on how to get that into my website (VFS) - I know your code stated to replace mixedmode etc in web.config, but where do I put your code? And what do I change mixedmode etc. to in web.config? I would love to use your version as after a few days of trying the saleslogix web windows authentication still refuses to work even after adding the user that runs the website as a domain admin!!
Cheers,
Nick |

This one gets weirder! I just tinkered with a local install - all I did was check the enable integrated windows authentication in IIS, but again forwards me to login.aspx to enter my credentials.
BUT if I debug the website and run in VS Windows Authentication works - and I havent even set the website to run as the domain admin, using setspn etc. The only difference is I used IE 8 to login to the client manually, and VS uses Google Chrome as the debugger.
So I tried Google Chrome to login and low and behold it takes me back to the login screen!! So...only seems to work when debugging in VS. How bizarre is that?! DOes that point to anything particualr being a problem anyone can think of??
I know VS creates its own web site for the debug to run but I have no idea how to check the properties of that to imitate.
Cheers,
Nick |

Did you ever get a resolution to this, Nick?
I'm stuck in the same spot - I authenticate (allegedly, anyway) but it just dumps me back to the login.aspx page instead of logging me into the client properly.
(This is on 7.5.0 if it matters with IIS 6)

| I did. EVENTUALLY. I am not sure what did it - this probably has nothing to do with it, just a weird set of coincidences but I added the user who runs the site as an SLX user (and checked windows authentication for it) and it started working. I thought hey it cant be that, no mention of that anywhere, so I deleted the user (to free up a license), and then lo and behold I start getting forwarded back to login.aspx. So re-added the user and hey presto windows authentication works again. Like I said, coincidence probably but very odd!!! |
