I'd like to access to a web application which requires spnego authentification. This application is running on a network on which i'm connected by VPN connection. Proxy not used.

It works fine under IE6/7/8, Chrome but not firefox 3.6.13

The matter on firefox is: I don't have the prompt message box to enter username and password

To configure my FF, i applied the following instructions, adding the domain name to the trusted and delegation uris fields.

Trying to access to the application, i get the following error message:

A browser did not respond to authentication challenge sent by a server. Most probably your browser is not configured properly to handle SPNEGO authentication challenge or does not support SPNEGO. Please, contact your System Administrator to deal with the problem.

I've checked for the other browsers and i got the same informations.

Do someone have an idea why FF can't interprete it, prompt a dialog box or enter the application ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards.

  • Debugging Mozilla firefox sources while trying to acces to my application, FF goes in error with the following code: LOGON DENIED. Credentials still not prompted. – kij Dec 16 '10 at 14:01
  • Not working since i changed my user password. Maybe FF has saved my username and password somewhere, doesn't ask them and send it to the server which reject the authentification ? – kij Dec 16 '10 at 14:42
