ports for NT challenge authentication



ports for NT challenge authentication James
10/7/2003 1:00:05 PM
iis security: I set up a couple pages using the NT challenge
authentication (with user names and passwords of the
domain). It's working fine until the system admin. people
moved the web server behind a firewall. Now whenever I
tried o access these pages from outside, it showed 401.2
error. Guess I need to ask the admin. guys to open some
port on the firewall. Roughly remember the port 443 needs
to be opened. Tried that, but still same error. Can't find
much information regarding the ports from MS website.

The whole problem here is that Windows Integrated authentication makes no
sense for clients that are outside the firewall, as it attempts to use the
system logged on user for authentication. How can a remote client outside
the firewall be logged onto the same domain as the web server behind the
firewall? This authentication scheme is really best used in an intranet
environment where all clients are behind the firewall and on the same
Windows domain.

The firewall is the issue when this is not working,
NTLM doesn't work with certain fw and it only support
IE. refer this kb

Try using basic with SSL certs.

Port 80/443 is reqired to be open at the firewall for http/https access.
Unless you are using Kerberos authentication, NTLM do not need additional
ports to be open at the firewall between the web client and the web server.

If there is a firewall exist between web server and the domain controller,
you may need to open the following ports for NTLM authentication to work:

Client Port(s) Server Port Service
1024-65535/TCP 135/TCP RPC *
137/UDP 137/UDP NetBIOS Name
138/UDP 138/UDP NetBIOS Netlogon and Browsing
1024-65535/TCP 139/TCP NetBIOS Session
1024-65535/TCP 42/TCP WINS Replication


Hope it helps,
Desmond

Mmm.. and I would say - these port should ONLY
open to trusted network....

but I won't open it even I can trust them. it just too
risky.. don't you think so ?

U are right :)
Windows authentication is primarily designed for intranet environment.
For internet-based deployment, use basic/SSL for authentication.

cheers!
