229784 - Can't connect to Outlook Web Access or other NTLM authenticated pages

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Stockman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20031227 Camino/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20031227 Camino/0.7+

I noticed this around the same time that Mozilla got the new
all-platforms-NTML-authentication, although that may be coincidence. I can no
longer connect to my office's Outlook Web Access server with Camino. I similarly
cannot connect to my router's management page, which also puts up a separate
dialog box for authentication.

The message that occurs instead of the expected authentication dialog box
varies; from the Exchange server, I get "Error: Access is Denied." From my
D-Link DI-604 router, I get "401 Unauthorized". Both of these locations work
from recent builds of both Mozilla and Firebird on OS X.

If you don't have access to an Exchange server or router that exhibits the bug,
let me know privately and I'll open external access to my router's management
interface at agreed-upon time(s). 

Reproducible: Always

does this happen in mozilla as well, or is it only broken in camino?

Comment 2

[Mike Stockman]

Just Camino. I have used both Mozilla (Windows and Mac) and Firebird (Win/Mac)
without problems.

so this does not happen with a mozilla/fb nightly from 12/27 (same date as your
camino bug report)? i'm baffled if that's the case. can you pinpoint a nightly
when this regressed?

Retested with latest nightlies:

With Camino, an error appears as reported in the bug description: Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040105 Camino/0.7+

With Mozilla, a login dialog box appears: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS
X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040105

With Firebird, a login dialog box appears: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS
X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040105 Firebird/0.7+

I'm at a loss to determine when this regressed... I know I used to be able to
log in to Outlook Web Access (and to my D-Link router) with Camino at some
point, but then I started using Safari as my main browser for a while. I
switched back to Camino about a month ago, which is less than helpful for
tracking this bug.

On a related note, I tried to poke around and find an Outlook Web Access server
to try this on. Wouldn't you know it, https://exchange.microsoft.com/exchange is
an Exchange 2003 server, and doesn't exhibit the bug. I'm using an Exchange 2002
server at work.

i had this problem occur in my local build, delete

~/Library/Application Support/Chimera/Application.regs

and it should go away. please reopen if this doesn't solve it.

The solution worked. Thanks for researching and providing the solution.
