IIS6 and Pass-Through Authentication


IIS6 and Pass-Through Authentication Arkane

iis security: We have a Windows 2003 DC (Active Directory) and an IIS6 Webserver to host
our intranet.

We have 3 forests, however we would like all users in DOMAIN_A to simply
'pass' their credentials to IIS6 without having to type them, so they can get
to restricted areas of the site without the need for manual authentication.
Any other users from either DOMAIN_B or DOMAIN_C should be required to
authenticate, of course it should only accept usernames/passwords from
DOMAIN_A.

How would I achieve this? I've tried creating a virtual directory and
setting it's security to be 'Integrated Windows Security' and have also tried
'Basic Authentication' but both require I authenticate manually, am I doing
something wrong? Am I missing out an extra step somewhere?

This is not pass through authentication - that's something altogther
different. In order to get IE to pass the credentials in the background for
Windows Integrated authentication, IE needs to recognize you FQDN as part of
the intranet.
