Prompted for Credentials When Browsing by FQDN
Friday, June 4th, 2010We have an internal SharePoint site that we recently started browsing to by FQDN. At about the same time, we started getting complaints from users that they were being prompted for credentials.
At first, we thought it was SharePoint, but then I found this article by Microsoft. It looks like WinHTTP doesn’t check your Trusted Sites before prompting for credentials, even if you’ve checked “Automatic logon with current user name and password.”
I’m testing it now, and will update this post if I keep getting prompted.
