Not sure if I should as here or in the server extensions group.

Using Windows 2003 server w/SP1
FPSE loaded from CD

Frontpage 2003

Is it possible to set up the server so people don't have to login as

"domain\username"

thanks

Hi Mike,

If you want to allow people to log in to the server without using the
DOMAIN\Username format for their username we can configure this in Internet
Explorer: IF your users are logged into their systems as a domain account
that is recognized by the FPSE server. Also, the site in IIS needs to be
running with Integrated Windows Authentication. You can check the
properties > Directory Security > Authentication...: Edit.

On the client side, we can enable user credentials to be automatically
passed by adding the URL to the trusted sites list and enabling the
settings to pass credentials automatically.

1) Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Security
2) Select Trusted Sites > Sites button
3) Enter the URL and click Add then Close
4) In the 'Security level for this zone' section, click Custom Level
5) Confirm in the User Authentication (very bottom of the list) that the
default option 'Automatic logon with current username and password' is
enabled.

Note that this will not work when accessing the site using an alias, as it
will try to pass the alias as the domain information. However, if you
access using an FQDN or servername directly, it should work fine so long as
the URL being used in in the Trusted Sites list.

If your users are not logging in to their clients as a domain account that
is recognized, then they will either have to use the DOMAIN\Username
convention, or they could also use the UPN such as user@domain if this is
easier for them. The domain component will need to be included.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Best,

Dana Brash [MSFT]
