IIS windows authentication

Hi every one,
I set IIS to use Windows authentication.

when I use URL like this

http://servername/sitename

then it works (I wont get any logon name). I can reffer
logon Name using servervariables("AUTH_USER").

But the problem is,
when I use
http://servername.domainname/sitename

then it displays windows default logon dialog box.
I have to enter my username and password.

my question is
why I am getting logon screen when I use fully qualified
servername (servername.domainname)

Is there any way that I can configure IIS not to display
logon screen when I use
servername.domainName


Thanks in Advance

Have you got the sites setup as seperate virtual domains under IIS? That would mean you'd need to apply the settings to each site, as they are two seperate entities.

Mr. stumpy

Thanks for reply.
but, I did not understand your post. I do not have two sites/domains
I have Only site

My problem is
I am using IIS authentication.
when i use Http://servername/sitename I do not have any problem.
but when I use
http://servername.domainname/sitename (fully qualified servername)
i am getting windows default logon box.

i want ti use http://servername.domainname/sitename but I dont want
to get the logon box
how can I do it?

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about accessing the site over the intranet, versus over the web.

The way you normally setup a site in IIS is to create virtual directory - right click on your server in the IIS MMC, then choose New -> Website. Once you've created the site, you can setup the security.

Setting up domain authenticated users in under Directory Security tab > Anon & Authentication Control section on the sites properties - look for "Integrated Windows Authentication" - it's on by default.
