AW: AW: AW: Some Users get Basic Auth?

[Djihangiroff, Matthias (KC-DD)]

Hello,

We'have just created a new domain Account and voila, all is running fine.
So somekind of settings in the userprofile are incorrect, so the auth box popped up.

Now we have another problem.

SOME users are getting this basic auth box somtimes. IE is running in NTLM mode..
If you close the IE, and open it again, with the same URL, all is running fine.

What the hell is wrong with this IE thing :-(

Matthias,

On this website:

  http://www.ioplex.com/support.html

You will find a document called the Plexcel Operator's Manual. The document is mostly about our SSO product but of course the protocol is the same so the "Possible Issues" section has information about troubleshooting this sort of thing. In particular look at Issue 3 and Issue 5.
