Automatic Authentification Problem (IE8)

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have installed the sspi module, enabled it and it works great, however only if Basic authentification is enabled. I am aiming at providing automatic login based on the already logged in user in Windows.

Below is a sample of the httpd.conf file where I have setup my VirtualHost, for which I need the windows authentification.

<VirtualHost vhtest.local:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\vhtest"
    ServerName vhtest.local

    KeepAlive On
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000
    KeepAliveTimeout 15

    CustomLog "C:\xampp\logs\example.local.access.log" combined  
    ErrorLog "C:\xampp\logs\example.local.error.log"

    <Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\vhtest">    
        AllowOverride None
        Options None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all  
        AuthName "VHTest"
        AuthType SSPI
        SSPIAuth On
        SSPIPerRequestAuth On
        SSPIPackage NTLM
        SSPIAuthoritative On
        SSPIOfferBasic On
        SSPIBasicPreferred Off
        require valid-user
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I expected the following setup to use automatic authentification, however I am presented with the login box. If I turn SSPIOfferBasic to Off, I get an error that the browser supplied the wrong credentials. I am using IE8, and I am running the latest version of xampp. The security settings for intranet sites (like the one I am using) are set to low, and the option for the browser to automatically provide the login credentials is enabled. Am I doing something wrong, is automatic login possible in this scenario?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Here a few suggestions:
- remove the specification of the SSPI package
- add SSPIDomain
- increase apache verbosity with the LogLevel directive and check what happens in your error.log
