There are two domains (A and B). The two domains are in trusted relationship. There is an IIS web server in the A domain.
In Visual Studio, I created an MVC project and it is configured in Controller for Windows authentication. I read the data like this:
- u = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToLower ();
The user in A domain is called Alex. The user in the B is Ben.
If Alex opens the page from his machine (computer is in the A domain), then everything works nicely.
- Automatically comes A\Alex
If Ben opens the page from his computer (computer is in B domain), then:
By default, it comes the authentication windows! But if I give this data, everything works fine.
- A\Alex + password: OK
- B\Ben + password: OK
I even tried:
- Alex + password: OK
- Ben + password: It was not good (but the webserver is in the A domain, so that is no problem)
And if I add the page in IE/Security to "Local Intranet" then:
- Automatically comes to B\Ben
So far, everything is fine and works accordingly. I can't find the solution for the next (and have tried a lot of things...)
If we use an independent machine from a third domain or even a mobile phone, then:
Request Authentication:
- A\Alex + password: OK
- Alex + password: OK (Up this point is everything as I expected!)
- B\Ben + password: NOT OK (WHY?!?!?)
Any idea what might be the problem? Thank you in advance for your help!
EDIT: In the controller is:
[Authorize]
public class HomeController : Controller
{
web.config:
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5.2" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.2" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
<identity impersonate="true" />
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" />
<customErrors mode="Off" />
</system.web>
