IIS 6.0 Hide Domain Name during Authentication

Hello,

I am in the process of deploying out SQL Reporting Services. Is there a way
that I can hide the domain name or the server name when the popup box appears
during authentication?

Re: IIS 6.0 Hide Domain Name during Authentication

Not really - this is a function of the browser, not the server.

I suppose you could write your own browser :-)

Cheers
Ken

"Hiding" items displayed by the browser (like the popup login dialog box)
depends on the Client, not Server.

And whether you need to input the domain name depends on the Authentication
protocol, independent of the Server.

If you don't want users remembering domains, then I suggest you set up and
use UPN with Windows because then users only need to enter:
username@company.com

Which if you match that up with the user's email address, users only need to
remember one user id, ever.

For the IE client you can control what is shown in the banner of the
authentication dialog AFAIK only to the extent that you define what
is the A resource record for the IP. If you make the DNS name
(fqdn) that the users already see in the URL the A rather than a
CNAME resource record, then you mask their seeing the other
name for the server.
