Access to Site Via WindowsMobile 2006 - Keeps asking for Password

We have a few Webs that dont seem to want Windows Mobile users access it.

The Windows Mobile users Range from WM2003, to WM5 WM6 using Sprint, AT&T,
T-Mobile and WiFi

THe Servers are Win2003R2 IIS6 latest Service Packs.

Running Some ASP.Net and Sharepoint (WSS3.0) Sites.

Both Sites Prompt For Username, Password and Domain.

The ASP.Net keeps asking and asking and asking for your password. If you
enter in your info the first few times, then hit cancel enough times parts of
the page load.

The Sharepoint sites just give you an Access Denied Error.

I can addess the Webs from other Machines that are not Windows Mobile.

Its like the Cell Carriers have Embedded a Proxy Server on the Connection.
THough switching to Just WiFi to a AP that is in the Same Subnet as the
Webserver didn't help.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
Scott<-

Hi Scott,

Please open IIS manager. In the problematic web sites' property
dialog->directory security->anonymous access and authentication control,
which authentication types are enabled for the sites?

Also please reproduce the auth failure symptom with Windows Mobile clients.
Then open event viewer on the IIS server immediately and check its security
log. See if there are any corresponding logon failure events in the log. If
there are, please post the details here for me to have a check.

I look forward to your update.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Hi Scott,

401.2 is a common error code of authentication failure with 3 times prompt
up. So as I mentioned in my previous post, which authentication types are
allowed on the site? Also are there any corresponding logon failure events
in the server's security log?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

I posted 2 Messages. Did you not see the other? It has the event log and the
Auth Settings.

RE: Access to Site Via WindowsMobile 2006 - Keeps asking for Passw

Scott,

Sorry, somehow your second message doesn't show up in our newsreader.

Since the logon process is garbled text but not w3wp.exe(IIS worker
process), we cannot guarantee the authentication failure must be IIS
related. The two error events appear to indicate even a general NTLM logon
attemp from the problematic client to the server will also fail. Please
create a file share folder on the IIS server and only grant your account
with access. Then please test access the share from the problematic client
with this account. If this also fails, I believe the problem is this client
has problem to authenticate against your domain.

To further narrow down, you can disable integrated auth and enable Basic
authentication to test. For Basic auth, the username and password is sent
to the IIS server directly and the client isn't necessary to communicate
with DC. Furthermore please be aware of that integrated windows
authentication usually doesn't work in the Internet because it cannot pass
through most of proxies. So please make sure the test is in your intranet.

I look forward to your update.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
