We went the route of assigning specific IP addresses to each site on the IIS 4 server (right now there are 3 sites with multiple virtual directories & sites under them) to try and get authentication to work. Still having a problem linking between the sites:
mycompany.net hyperlinks to:
1. mycompany.net/remote
2. ourintranet
I get the password prompt and can access all the remote files I should be able to (even tested different authorities). However, when I try the link to “ourintranet” I get a page not found error. I’ve even changed the hyperlink to “ourintranet.mycompany.com/ default.htm” (browsing to the page to make sure it wasn’t a simple typo fix).
The intranet is running on the same server as the net but using a different ip address. Ourintranet access is denied except for 2 internal subnets and the mycompany.net domain with anonymous access allowed. We have an internal firewall which is pointing to the ip address for mycompany.net. My understanding is the firewall passes its domain information with the request – so it “should” work (I’m beginning to hate that word more than “if”). Everyone within the subnets can access the intranet internally. I also tried adding the firewall IP address to the “access is denied except” list.
The intranet was designed in FrontPage 2000 and I even added the IIS user groups with browse access for the site through it (when I look at the intranet folder permissions I can now see the 2groups with read access).
Other details: IIS 4 w/ SP6a. Tested on Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2, 5.0 & 5.5 (40 & 128 bit encryption). We do not want to go to clear text passwords. When I took off CHAP authentication on the Intranet I was able toget to it for editing via FrontPage.
Any suggestions?
