SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to connect to secure directories on an Internet Information Server
(IIS) through a browser that does not support Windows NT Authentication, you
will receive an error message stating that access is denied.
CAUSE
=====
The Access Denied message occurs because your third-party browser is not capable
of sending the Windows NT Challenge Authentication information to the server.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, enable Basic Authentication on your browser, and
when you are prompted for a password, enter your Windows NT account information
in the following format
domainname/username
For example, if the Windows NT domain name of johndoe is logging on to a domain
named mydomain, you would enter
mydomain/johndoe
in the username (or user) field, and your password in the password field.
NOTE: Your browser must support basic authentication for the domainname/username
syntax to work correctly.
