SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft FrontPage to open an existing Web site on a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) computer, you may be repeatedly prompted to enter a user name and password, even though your logon information is correct.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs if IIS is configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication or Windows NTLM Authentication. These types of authentication are also known as NT Challenge/Response.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, configure IIS to use Basic Authentication instead of Windows Integrated Authentication or Windows NTLM Authentication. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open Internet Services Manager.
- Right-click your Web site, and then click Properties.
- Click the Directory Security tab.
- Under Anonymous access and authentication control, click Edit.
- Click to select the Basic Authentication check box.
- Click to clear the Windows Integrated Authentication check box.
- Click OK.
