Hi Tony,

Sorry about the delay replying.

The internal network here is using integrated authentication and we have a
Mac setup for testing with several browsers. When the browser on the Mac is
pointed at one of the internal sites the browser prompts for a
login/password/domain via a dialog box. (I think) this is standard behaviour
for most browsers, otherwise many sites on the world-wide-web would be
inaccessible to the user.

I can only see this being a problem for you if you don't have access to
these settings on the server to enable/disable the type of authentication.
So it's server - not client dependent.

Is this what you wanted to know?

Rgds, Dominic
