Different behavior for Windows Authentication with same app

[Jonathan Parker]

I have an asp.net app that uses windows authentication. I'm doing my
development and testing from one box. In the browser if I enter:
[url]http://mybox/virtualdirectory/default.aspx[/url] everything works as I would
expect. It recognizes my login and away I go.

However, if I enter [url]http://mybox.mycompany.com/virtualdirectlry/default.aspx[/url]
I am immediately prompted for a Username/Password. What gives?

Can anyone give me a simple explanation and what I must configure
(machine.config, web.config or IIS)?

Thanks in Advance,
Otis...

I suspect that you're using Internet Explorer (but can't be sure, because
you don't tell us).

For sites in the "Intranet" IE security zone, IE will automatically send
your username/password if the server requests it. For sites in the
"Internet" zone (and this includes, by default, all sites that include a .
in their DNS name), IE will prompt you for your username/password.

Cheers
Ken

Ken,
THANKS! This was exactly the issue. Sorry I didn't get back sooner with my
appreciation.
