Problems with Digest Authentication

w^rl0rdw^rl0rd Member Posts: 329
Has anyone gotten Digest Authentication to work in IIS?
From what I have read, It requires a domain account on
a Windows 2003 server and that its password be stored
using reversable encryption.

Well, I've done all of these things, but I'm still prompted
3 times for my password and eventually get a 401.1 error.

Any pointers?

    I take it I won't be tested on this?
    Well, if anyone gets a chance to test it out
    I would really like to know what happens.
    I just like to know how things work you know?

    I'm rather new at this so take this with a grain of salt.

    I just installed IIS yesterday and was playing around with the different authentication types. I did try Digest Authentication and it did work.

    It looked like it was similar to Integrated Windows authentication - were it asked for a AD username and password - but instead of a standard Windows username and password windows, Digest authentication used what looked like a browser login box.

    Let me know if you have anyother questions or if I didn't explain myself clearly :D
