ASP.NET: question about username/password for browsers different from IE

[Ma³y Piotruœ]

Hello,
(sorry for my English, it's not my native language...)
I am learning .NET and I need your help. Could you help me please?
I have created an ASP.NET application (say localhost/app), and tested
it on Internet Explorer. Then I tried to test in on Navigator, Mozilla
and Opera, but I got a message with a question about User Name and
Password for "" or unknown at http:/localhost.
Could you explain me with this problem and how to solve this? Thank
you very much.

You're probably getting this due to IIS settings. Go to IIS (Start > Run >
Inetmgr) and check the directory security for the application that you
created. In there, set it to anonymous instead of Windows Authentication.

Windows Integrated Authentication is enabled for the applications
virtual folder.

AFAIK only Internet Explorer supports Integrated Authentication.

To disabl it:

1. Right click on the virtual directory (in the Internet Information
Services Manager) and Properties
2. Select the "Directory Security" tab-page
3. Click the Edit button in "Anonymous Access and Authentication
Control"
4. Tick "Anonymous Access"
5. Untick "Integrated Authentication"
