windows-authentication

Really need help with this and tried lots of things and run out of ideas. I have a site hosted on an internal development server, accessible for staff internally. the server setup is windows 2008 R2, iis 7.5 sql 2008 express. Im authenticating using active directory. in Chrome the site loads, and automatically logs me in recognising my name. When viewing the site in IE7 the response is: "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied." I have tried the following: in iis set only

Being relatively new to ASP MVC, I'm unsure which would better suit my needs. I have built an intranet site using Windows authentication and I'm able to secure controllers and actions using the Active Directory roles, e.g. [Authorize(Roles="Administrators")] [Authorize(Users="DOMAIN\User")] public ActionResult SecureArea() { ViewBag.Message = "This is a secure area."; return View(); } I need to define my own security roles independent of the AD roles. The desired functionality is that authenticated users are granted access to specific actions according to one or more roles associated with

I have an intranet project written in MVC 4 which uses Windows Authentication to authorise and authenticate users. I need to add a 'Login as another user' functionality. After some searching I found this solution which suggests returning a 401, and created the following Action (which is called using a form): // // POST: /Home/LogOut [HttpPost] [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] public ActionResult LogOut() { return new HttpUnauthorizedResult(); } The Action gets called, and the browser pops up a username and password window, however as the result redirects back to the Action, a 401 is always returned.

I'm building a simple internal application for my company, and it requires Windows Authentication for security. All other authentication modes are disabled. I'm stuck in a situation where internet explorer prompts for credentials 3 times, then fails with this error: Not Authorized HTTP Error 401. The requested resource requires user authentication. I then created a bare-bones website to test this out. I created a new site in IIS, put it on its own port (:8111, chosen at random), put one static "default.htm" file in there, disabled anonymous authentication, then enabled windows authentication.

I'm working on a client-server application and I want the client to authenticate itself to the server using the user's logon credentials, but I don't want the user to have to type in their user name and password. I certainly don't want to be responsible for securely handling passwords. I only need the user to prove to me that they are who they say they are, and then my server can go ahead and grant/deny commands as it pleases. My users are part of a domain, and so I want to be able to use the logon credentials they created when they logged in. I'm not using any sort of web services, nor do I

After trying to enable owin & AspNet Identity to my Web Api project (in VS 2013 + .Net 4.5.1) I get the following error in each valid or unvalid(request to none exist controller) requests : <Error> <Message>An error has occurred.</Message> <ExceptionMessage> No OWIN authentication manager is associated with the request. </ExceptionMessage> <ExceptionType>System.InvalidOperationException</ExceptionType> <StackTrace> at System.Web.Http.Owin.PassiveAuthenticationMessageHandler.SuppressDefaultAuthenticationChallenges(HttpRequestMessage request) at System.Web.Http.Owin
