The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

IIS Configuration is preventing remote Intranet logins.  Why?

Asked by ricplaisance in Windows Network Security

Tags: , , , ,

We host an Intranet via IIS 6.0, which many staff (all in developing countries) must access.  Of the 25 or so countries, approximately half are having difficulties logging into the Intranet.  The problem could be the local ISPs themselves, which often have restrictive or relatively uninformed policies in place.  However the problem could be my IIS config as well.  

A few points:

- Anonymous Access is disabled.  Authentication is via Integrated Windows Authentication (against AD), which is working fine for most of us;

- Users often get to the login screen and are able to enter credentials.  The errors begin after that, and they are denied access.

- I had a conversation with an ISP in Mozambique re this.  They said our server was configured for "session-based" access, not "user-based", and thus the credentials/communications would not pass successfully thru the ISP's servers.  (They were unwilling to tweak their system for us.)

- Today an error message forwarded to me from Nigeria said something to the effect: You do not have permission to view this page using the credentials that you suppliied because yuour Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.

The Question: I'm open to broad advice about this problem in general, but mainly want to know if there is an IIS config on my end (or other security related steps) that can make for successful access from our field offices?
