Cannot Log On to Web Server Requiring Authentication with New Realm (182133)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q182133 SYMPTOMS
When you use Internet Explorer to connect to a Web server requiring
authentication, you may not be able to log on to the server properly if
the response from the Web server includes a realm change.
CAUSE
When you log on to a Web server requiring a user name, password, and
realm, the Web server may send a realm change back to your browser. The
browser should then authenticate on the new server with the same user name
and password, and the new realm. If the browser does not send the new
realm with the authentication information, you may not be able to log on
to the Web server.
