We are running sharepoint on our intranet for staff to use on a Windows 2003 server. There is no anonymous access, staff login in with their domain username and password which is carried over from their login.
Problem is, I have opened sharepoint (and outlook web access) up to outside through our website, so staff can use them from home. With outlook web access, staff just login with their username and password...but with sharepoint, they have to put "<domain>\username".
Until recently I thought that there would no way round this, but am confused as to why OWA doesn't need the domain and sharepoint does? Surely they both use Microsoft Integrated Authentication? It's the inconsitency that is confusing staff.
Furthermore, is there any way I can set Sharepoint or IIS up so that this is the default domain? at the moment, if a user doesn't put the domain in before their usrname, the auth box returns with "
www.sitename.ext\<usernam
e>"....wou
ld it be possible to change something in IIS so this values before the slash said "<domain>"?
Thanks in advance
