160529 - Broken authentication when accessing apache site with sspi_auth_module

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 23679

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Van Veelen]

Mozilla doesn't even attempt to give authentication (eg. Get error 401 without
an auth pop-up window) when accessing an Apache 2.0.39 website that uses
sspi_auth_module (authenticates to a NT domain).

I verified that it works on Internet Explorer 6.0 just fine.

Could it be a Apache issue or mozilla issue?

Email me if you would like a login/password to experiment with.

Do you mean NTLM auth ?
I can't get a DNS error for pages.drexel.edu

Comment 2

[Jeremy Van Veelen]

Yes, I believe it uses NTLM auth.  See
http://www.syneapps.com/software/mod_auth_sspi/ for the module description.  Of
course that page points out that it works with IE 3+ and doesn't even mention
Netscape/Mozilla.

DNS error? I get a 401 Authorization Required error.  (And I also can't resolve
the ip of pages.drexel.edu, which may seem irrelevant).

yes, its NTLM Auth.
