in reply to Retrieve REMOTE_USER Cgi Env with mod_auth_sspi

If you're using IE to connect to your site, you need to make certain that your server is set to maximal trust before it will pass domain credentials.

Not really a Perl answer but IE security is a bit "special" and may be the real problem.

    Hi, Thanks for the response. I have added my site's server to the intranet zone sites listed on IE settings. I believe that is usually meant to accept the site as a trusted site. Is there anyway to test that the SSPI authentication is kicked of atleast? I know this is not purely perl issue, but would like to know if this has nothing to do with it, if so! Lots of resources online referred to having mod_perl installed in this context and I could not find it for the 5.16v of perl. So looking to seek any pointers to get this working the perl way. Thanks again for your inputs. Appreciate it.

      Sure, require this authorization for a normal text/html file. When that works, mess up the credentials (eg, set the wrong SSPIDomain) and make certain that that doesn't work.

        Thanks for the tip. I did try it out and it did not really give me the popup it either. I am giving my domain name as the output of the NET VIEW /DOMAIN and using the same. Sorry if this is out of context in this forum. Would be of great help if i could get some pointers. Thanks!
