Windows Authentication
  • fox_1028fox_1028
    My Environment:
    Windows Server 2008
    IIS 7
    Server Side Technology: ColdFusion 8

    My issue:
    For security purposes, my site requires windows authentication; however this seems to always prompt the Active Directory sign in screen (even though already signed in) when uploading a file.

    To get around this, I modified the uploadify dir to allow anonymous access. This worked great for Safari and FireFox browsers... but still no luck with IE 6.5 - 8 browsers. If I attempt to sign in AD then browser hangs. If I cancel then http error 401 and IO error 2038. Unfortunately we cannot process the upload from an alternate web site/domain.

    I'm curious if there are any IE browser settings or IIS settings that will not prompt the AD sign in screen. (adding the site to the intranet zone and "Automatic log on" did not help)

    I have successfully tested IE 6.5, 7 & 8; FireFox; Safari with a site that uses anonymous access throughout the entire site. So this should rule out any scripting errors/bugs.

    Note that the login prompt appears just before the actual upload.

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

    I'm having the exactly same problem, but I still didn't figured out how to resolve it on firefox. You said you added anonymous access to upload directory, right? This settings was made on Properties -> Security tab? I didn't find "Anonymous Users" group on that list.

    I think I'll have to move into another framework for upload.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately I was never able to get a real time flash upload progress bar (such as uploadify or swfupload) working across multiple browsers with Window Authentication turned on. :x

    Even attempted Windows 2003 server and IIS 6 as well as many other configurations one could think of...

    None-the-less, keep me posted if anyone finds a solution or work-a-round. Works like a charm with Windows Authentication disabled.

    I was getting the same errors until I set anonymous access to the upload script file, the swf file and the attachments folder. Annoying to get session information to capture who uploaded the file but at least no more authentication requests.

    I know this is an old post, but has anyone figured out how to get around this issue. It just started showing up at our customer sites with Win XP SP3 boxes. Win 7 clients have no issue. We are able to reproduce it here with an XP box going to one of our servers. Of course it isn't a problem going to the other server. The servers are exactly the same. They were setup at the same time. I can not trap what the problem is. If you use fiddler all works. Not sure why. Any Ideas????
