WPAD download requires authenication - 20.Jun.2007 4:06:17 AM

Probably a dead simple one but I just can’t find the setting I need...

I've set our clients up to use WPAD through DNS (tried DHCP, and configuration script as well), however the issue is that when the client tries to connect to the ISA server to download the configuration file they are prompted for authentication, this is regardless of whether or not you are requiring authentication for the web proxy. Looking at the log you can see the attempted wpad.dat download which is blocked on account of being an anonymous connection. If you enter the credentials then everything works, but does anyone know how to stop it requiring authentication (i.e. allowing anonymous) to download the wpad file?

Cheers

Ben

Hi, still get a user authentication login but not the same.

I solved the first login with the MS Article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889035
Thanks for that..

BUT.. now we have seen that if we visit webradios we still get a user authentication popup. if we login with that with domain\username and password.. it works.. but we dont want that extra login

Help anyone?
