Vista - Vista and IE7 URL with port numbers ie. www.fred.com:8088

Sirius99 · 05-07-2007

Guys/girls...

Have a web site (portal if you will) that i log into to get files etc from the office..it uses NT Challeng response for authentication once you hit the URL.

Under XP it brings up the user id and password which lets me in..Vista on the other hand alos brings up the login dialog but just never gets authenticated.

I suspect it's Vista given XP and IE7 works...anyone any thoughts?

I've removed all firewalls etc to see what happens without them but to no avail...

Help?

Will try it out later..looks like it might do the trick but the odd thing is I installed Firefox and it worked first time....so must be something in how IE is interacting with the security policy -Why do M$ mess about with these things so much and can't publish a detailed 'what i used to do in XP' and 'how to do it in Vista?' - seems an obvious ommission they. Will post an update later on whther it was successful..thanks

**** Update *****
Nope...mainly i think becuase i am running Vista Home Premium and the point
- Double-Click Local Security Policy - this isn't available in admin tools - i assume for this version.... so am no further forward except i should use Firefox instead of IE..can't be right though..

Yeah, there's no group policy in home edition, you'll have to edit the registry directly.

The configuration of this authentication resides in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\ registry key, look for the LMCompatibilityLevel dword.

0 - Send LM & NTLM responses
1 - Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated
2 - Send NTLM response only
3 - Send NTLMv2 response only
4 - Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM
5 - Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM

3 is the default, change it to 1 and reboot for the same effect.
