The following steps describes how to set up automatic logon to EPiServer using windows authentication and windows integrated security.
- Set up Anonymous + Windows Integrated Authentication in IIS.
- Set that the pages are not considered public by the asp.net environment
This can be done with the following syntax in the web.config file:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
This ensures that only authenticated users will have access to the site.
- Make sure the web site is considered to be in the local intranet zone in the clients browser settings. Some urls are automaticly considered local intranet, for instance http://intranet. Otherwise you have to add the web site url to the local intranet list in the browser settings.
