Q. I am using MS Proxy 2 and IIS. We can get to the member area from our internal network, but not from the internet.
I am prompted, and a valid supply username and password is supplied, then I am asked a couple more times, and eventually it is as though an incorrect

A. Hi Kevin!

I have finally solved the problem. It was the Proxy server that caused the problem.
As I mentioned before we access our webserver through a proxy which is on a different domain. This is why everything worked internally, since the proxy is never used for internal traffic. This is what happens.

When trying to access the protected directory, AunthentiX displays the login dialog.
When the user clicks OK the web service on the proxy tries to login with the username and password entered. This will of course not work, since no such NT user exists. What you must do is to uncheck the Basic (Clear Text) and NT Challenge Response in the web service on the proxy server (the proxy server uses the web service to authenticate users). Once this is set, all authentication is forwarded to the real web server. This regards IIS and MS Proxy 2.0 I don't know if it would work in the same way with IIS 3 or Proxy 1.
