Sharepoint site continuously propmting for username and password

Question

Hi,

A particular sharepoint web application(site collection) is continuously prompting for username and password indefinite times and not letting the users to view the application properly.

But when we add the users to Farm Administrators, the web application(site collection) is working fine. But ideally, we can’t add all users to Farm Administrators.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Regards, Priya

Answer 1

I've seen this when the SharePoint site was not in the web browser's Intranet zone. For an IE browser, you can add the url to the Intranet zone or change the browser's authentication setting to use "Automatic logon with current username and password".

Answer 2

First, check that you're site is in Intranet Zone.
If you are logged on locally on the server: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
