Re: IE asks to authenticate; User and workstations are domain members

I suspect this is the Login settings on their IE.

If the site is regarded as an Intranet site (and if they have default settings) then the default "Automatic Login in Intranet" comes into place.

This would apply for instance if they are using http://serveranme

If however there are "."s in the name of the site URL - so they are using http://name.company.com for instance, IE regards it as an Internet site and login is not automatic.

To make it so go to the Internet security zone in IE and specify there "Login using current name and password" and the login requirement to the site should go away.

P.S. If you then have an authentication request on opening a document that you want to avoid, put the site in Trusted Sites (for IE6/XPPro) or Intranet zone (IE7/Vista)

For some reason every time users try to reach the site, IE on their machines’ ask for login credentials; once you enter the credentials that are identical to their interactive Windows session, they are allowed into the site.
I get the same popup for credential if I try to get to the document library while being logged into the SharePoint server itself via Remote Desktop utility or local console.
Client machines are the members of the same Active Directory domain as SharePoint Portal 2007 server. I've tried to change Authentication Providers (Central Administration\Application management) from Kerberos to NTLM; but unfortunately no lock. I have verified that IIS is configured with "Integrated Windows Authentication". Can anybody tell me why user credentials are not being passed automatically from their Windows session so that they can get to the Documents Library site without being asked to authenticate? What should I do to fix it ?

Thanks!
