Hello everyone,
I'm setting up a machine to become the router in my intranet. It's running Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.0 with ARR and URL Rewrite Module to do the necessary routing and load balancing. I'm trying to access one of the machines running a Sharepoint Server (making sure it goes through the router) and I'm getting HTTP 401 error. Accessing the sharepoint machine from the router grants me access but if I try the same credentials from another machine and force it to go through the router, then the HTTP 401 error appears. I'm searching for a solution for this problem.
Is this the typical "double-hop issue"? Can this be solved using NTLM for authentication or is kerberos mandatory? Can anyone point me to a kb or instructions on tackling this scenario? I tried enabling ASP.net Impersonation in the Router but only got HTTP
500.24 response errors.
Also tried to add the following lines to the web.config file in the default website but to no use:
<identity impersonate="true" />
<validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" useAppPoolCredentials="true"/>
More information on the machines,
Router: Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.0, Windows Authentication only; Default website with the same auth enabled. ARR + URL Module redirect/rewrite correctly.
Sharepoint: MOSS 2007, Windows Authentication and Integrated Windows Authentication; IIS 6.0 with Windows Authentication enabled.
Thanks in advance,
Nuno Cruz
