Problem Accessing Security-Enhanced Site with Internet Explorer for UNIX (185988)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for UNIX on Sun Solaris
This article was previously published under Q185988 SYMPTOMS When you use Internet Explorer 4.01 for UNIX on Sun Solaris
to access Web resources that require user login, access may be denied.
CAUSE The February 1998 version of Internet Explorer 4.01 for
UNIX on Sun Solaris does not support Windows NT Challenge/Response (NTLM)
authentication. Basic authentication is supported in this release.
RESOLUTION To work around this behavior, the "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;
MSIE 4.01; SunOS 5.5.1 sun4u; X11)" user agent string should be used by the Web
server to detect this version of Internet Explorer and alter the method of
authentication to Basic authentication.
NOTE: The SunOS version
number and the term "sun4u" in the user agent string varies based on the model
of the SPARCstation and version of Solaris that you are using.
STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the
Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
