I’ve recently put a test domino server in on my network, and am trying to get session based (either single server or SSO) web authentication working on it.
In my live domino environment, session based authentication works perfectly on mozilla or IE.
In my test environment, only mozilla will authenticate.
IE just keeps asking for a log on. It doesn’t even tell you the password is wrong.
Both servers are in the same Windows domain
The servers are in different domino domains
The servers are on the same subnet
IE is set to view my test server’s URL as a trusted site.
At first I thought this could be a cookie problem, but it still happens after you’ve cleaned out your cookies.
With WebAuth_Verbose_Trace=1 in notes.ini, whenever a user attempts to authenticate I get this on the console:
WebAuth> LOOKUP in view $Users (user=‘bob smith’ org=‘Test’)
At least with SSO, if you connect to the server using anything other than the fully qualified name configured in the Server document/web config etc. You’ll get the problem you describe.
Now, without SSO, you should be fine even if you connect by using the ip address instead of the FQN.
We had this problem on one of our servers. I wish I could remember exactly what it was but it happened after we installed something to do with Sametime. I think what I did was to remove or disable the Sametime login mapping forms from the Domino Web Server Configuration database and this seemed to fix the problem.

Thanks for the feedback - we do use the full domain name when using SSO (like I said - we’ve got it working fine in the live environment). This problem has been occurring since I first installed the server - before I installed sametime - it even happens without a domcfg.nsf database and I use the standard login form… Good eh?

Dave have you had any luck. I am having a similar issue with web authentication against an LDAP directory. It says VERIFY password and thats it against some people and for others it works. It is driving me nuts
