IE7 and Companyweb Authentication
- From: "SBS 2003 User" <garry.wheeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

My users are experiencing problems connecting to the Company Internal Web
Site (Companyweb) when connected to our SBS 2003 server using Remote Web
Workplace and Internet Explorer 7. When selecting to "Use My Company's
Internal Web Site" IE7 users receive a HTTP 500 error stating "The Web Site
Can Not Display The Page". This error does not occur to users who use
IE6... nor do IE7 users have any problems checking their email using Remote
Web Workplace or Outlook Web Access.
Investigation of this problem on the web seems to indicate that this is
probably due to how IE7 authenticates using Integrated Windows
Authentication (IWA). In fact, inspection of IIS | Companyweb | Properties
| Directory Security | Authentication and Access Control settings indicates
that the Companyweb by default uses IWA to authenticate access. Of course
this is the preferred method as no one wants to have users authenticate
using Basic Authentication which allows passwords to be sent in clear text.
However, IE7 users can not seem to access the Companyweb using IWA although
when authenticating using Basic Authentication they can connect to the
Companyweb successfully.
I guess what my question is "How do I configure the Companyweb or modify IE7
settings to allow IE7 users to authenticate using IWA? I have refused to
change the Companyweb's default IWA authentication to only allow Basic
Authentication just for IE7 users. I have researched this error in this
forum and on the web and I can not find an acceptable solution, so any help
given is most appreciated. I apologize in advance if this has been resolved
before and I simply did not find it.
