Matt:

Netscape supports Basic and Digest authentications not the Integrated
Windows Authentication.

When you specify authentication mode as "Windows" it uses the default
Integrated Windows Authentication. You can override this using IIS MMC. Open
the IIS MMC and go to the website or the virtual directory and assign basic
or digest authentication methods.

Do remember both the basic and digest authentication methods are very weak
authentication methods with compared to Integrated Windows Authentication.

not sure if this was already answered, but no, Netscape did not support
Windows authentication last time I checked.  This is an IE only thing.

Subject: [DOTNET] Windows authentication and Netscape

I'm using Windows Authentication mode, ie
                <authentication mode="Windows" />
                <authorization>
                        <deny users="?" />
                </authorization>

and alls well in IE6

I try to see what the site will look like in Netscape (I just wanted to
see
what the IE WebControls looked like when not using DHTML behaviours),
and I
get the following error:

-----------------------
Access is denied.
Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to
serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to the
requested URL.

Error message 401.2.: Access is denied because of the Web server's
configuration. Contact the Web server's administrator for help.
-----------------------

If I change the authentication model to Forms, it works a treat

Doesn't Netscape support Windows authentication?
If it does, what could I be doing wrong?

TIA
Merak
