Hi,
We are using Apache Tomcat 5.5, JDK 1.5 and have a internal portal on our
intranet which is written in java jsp struts and jsp.
I know that the tomcat and Java versions are old, but upgrading isn't a quick
thing to do without lots of testing.
The issue we have is that the users keep getting the authentication box popping
up asking for username and password when using the portal in Internet Explorer.
One of the users has noticed that when they use Chrome, they don't seem to get
this popup constantly. Authentication is against the Active Directory using
JCIFS (I know it's discontinued, but to re-write and test is not feasible at
the moment). The users are meant to be using Internet Explorer as not
everything works in Chrome.
We have been trying to work out this issue for some time, with no success. The
user saying that it works in Chrome makes us wonder if there's something within
Internet Explorer that is possibly dropping the connection or something for it
to keep asking the user for username and password. Or is there something that
Internet Explorer doesn't like with Apache Tomcat?
Any help/guidance on this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Seema
