We have an intranet portal that we have been running for years that is based on .net 2.0 IIS application pool.
We push firefox preferences out and a few things I think that make this work are these
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-non-fqdn = true
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris = domain.com (our domain name)
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris = domain.com (our domain name)
network.automatic-ntl:m-auth.trusted-uris = .domain.com (our domain name).
Normally our original site proceeded wtihout any issue.
The new site that the vendor wants to upgrade us to has a ton of upgraded code and a slightly updated look and feel and new controls for publishing and configuring content. Like the previous portal, this also runs on IIS but uses .net 4.5 application pool. What happens is when we hit this site in Firefox we are bombarded with a username and password prompt. If you cancel a bunch of times the site will load but eventually it pops up again. If you enter your domain username and password then it goes away and you can use the site normally.
IE, Chrome and Edge just go directly to the site, automatically using your current windows login identity so if you post content on the intranet portal it shows as you.
We did a remote session with the vendor of the portal and the guy basically said yeah it has something to do with this .net framework and firefox. We know it worked on the older verison but we've never been able to get it to work in firefox. You'll have to use another browser or enter your domain credentials when you visit the site in firefox.
Does anyone know if there is some sort of under the hood tweak in firefox to get the NTLM passthrough to an IIS based .net 4.5 application like it does with .net 2.0? We would love to keep Firefox as our default browser but when we go live with this portal we may have to switch to Chrome.
