1079732 - Firefox 31.0 on Linux can't authenticate to MS Sharepoint

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1023748

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Demian Frederic Mohr]

Attachment: IIS_sharepoint_error.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140830210550

Steps to reproduce:

First off, I tried using FF 31.0 and FF 32.0 on Kubuntu 14.04. My colleague on Windows 7 has FF v32.03 and has no problem connecting. For me it works on Chromium Version 37.0.2062.94 Kubuntu 14.04, so the problem only seems to be happening in FF on Linux

I tried to login to our intranet sharepoint, but I don't even get the login window popup. Instead it just directly shows an IIS error message. 




Actual results:

Instead of showing the login screen, I got an error
(See IIS_sharepoint_error.png attachment) Seems to be a www-authentication header error. 


Expected results:

Should show a login popup to enter credentials (HTTP basic auth)

dupe of bug 1023748?

Comment 2

Could be... It's on http, not https but other than that there are many similarities.
I also get the 401 unauthorized instead of an emtpy page. Same thing has been reported in the comments so yeah, might be a dupe. Sorry about that.

Confirmed, it's a dupe. 

network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 True

fixed it for me... Although not the best way of fixing things :(
