Hello, I've created an AJAXPro user control and embedded it in an ASPX page on a site that uses NTLM/Windows Integrated authentication.
The page and user control work flawlessly in Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, FireFox repeatedly (but not entirely consistently) prompts for login credentials whenever an AJAX call is made using AJAXPro. Sometimes the first AJAX call will not prompt for credentials, but sooner or later the page will start to prompt and once it does it doesn't stop. Interestingly, the prompts don't appear to accept valid credentials. In other words, if an AJAX call in FireFox prompts for credentials, it will fail regardless of the accuracy of the credentials. Here are the most relevant FireFox bugs I could find (all marked resolved, fixed ages ago): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231529 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224653 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231529 Here is one user's idea for silencing the prompts (it didn't work for me): http://www.crossedconnections.org/w/?p=89 One person in this thread... http://groups.google.com/group/ajaxpro/browse_thread/thread/278b4688f17641ff/4ad3cfc77899b17e?lnk=gst&q=ajax+ntlm&rnum=2#4ad3cfc77899b17e ...suggested that the following line in the AJAXPro client scripts was the problem: this.xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close"); However, I can't find this line in the current AJAXPro build's client scripts so I can't substantiate this assertion. I am running within a SharePoint 2007 deployment which, by virtue of policies that are out of my control, requires my applications to work with IE and FireFox in an NTLM authenticated site so this is becoming a major issue. I've created a standalone testing web application and can confirm that, for once, the problem is not being introduced by SharePoint. I've also toggled the settings from just NTLM to just Anonymous and can say that the FireFox problem is definitely limited to just NTLM. Enabling both, because of the way IIS works, is tantamount to enabling just Anonymous. Does anyone here have any other ideas? I'd really appreciate any assistance.
