iis security: make sure you are allowing annonymous connections to the website, this is
default behaviour. Also allow all computers and IP's access(again this is
default but can be changed)

Hi All

I am facing one problem while accessing the website created in my local
system(Logged in a domain)



In IIS I enabled windows authentication for the site.

1) If I try to access the site like

http://IP address/ .. then the windows login pop up is coming



2) if I try

http://localhost it will not ask for the windows login pop up



How can I prevent the windows login pop in first case



Please give your comments



Thanks

IE treats dotted IP address as Internet, which is in a different Internet
Zone than localhost. It also has different auto-login behavior for those
Zones.

To prevent the login dialog, make sure to give IE a URL that goes into the
appropriate Zone with the appropriate auto-login behavior.

This is not an IIS issue because the browser is responsible for dealing with
authentication - which includes auto-login.
