Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 23679

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Paul Maddox]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1)
BuildID:    2001032320

We have an IIS server on our LAN that has a directory you have to login to.
Internet Explorer opens a login dialog for username/password/domain, but Mozilla
doesn't do anything.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a HTTP session browsing a directory structure on any IIS web server
2. Try clicking on a directory that is protected and requires you to login.

Actual Results:  Link highlights red, then nothing happens.

Expected Results:  Some kind of login screen allowing me to enter user info.

Mitch, could this be a IE/WinOS-specific functionality?

[Mitchell Stoltz (not reading bugmail)]

Sounds like a problem with HTTP basic auth - does IIS do this differently than
Apache? Reassigning.

is this perhaps a request for NTLM authentication?  we don't currently support
this windows-only authentication mode.  however, this is a planned feature.

reporter: can you verify the authentication mechanism?  thx!

I've tried accessing the directory in lynx and get:

"WWW-Authenticate: NTLM"

So I guess what you said is right, Darin.
