Cannot access intranet (Sharepoint) site

Post#1 by moakes » 12 Mar 2015, 21:17

When I type in our intranet Sharepoint website into Firefox (http://somesite/) it loads to a blank page. This is using Porteus 3.2 in a VirutalBox VM. When I access from my Windows machine using Firefox, I am prompted with a login box. I am wondering if this is a DNS issue. Sharepoint is located at 10.x.x.x and my local range is 192.x.x.x. When I type in http://somesite.domain.local/ on the VM I am presented with a "500 - Internal server error" which I also get on my Windows box.

When I go to http://somesite/ on my Porteus Kiosk, it forwards me to http://somesite.com/ which forwards me to duckduckgo search results for somesite.com. I am guessing the Porteus VM sits at a blank page because I disabled the browser.fixup.alternate.enabled config setting so it doesn't append .com. The VM is set to Auto DHCP and the Kiosk to Static with the correct DNS servers.

When I access from my Windows machine using Firefox, I am prompted with a login box.
what type of authentication is this? could you send me a video on support@porteus-kiosk.org showing this behavior under Windows and Porteus Kiosk so i could have a clear comparison?

thanks

I seem to have made progress on this. It has something to do with NTLM/Single sign on.

On my Windows machine, in Firefox, when I enable network.automatic.ntlm.auth.allow-non-fqdn the website loads without prompting for username/password. Is the stuff in about:config able to be copied to the custom iso?

EDIT: actually, that might have been network.negotiate.auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 . Enabling that in Firefox prompts for login credentials.

I checked the prefs.js in the ISO for Kiosk 3.3 and it has the line for v1 so maybe its a combination of the 2. I will know soon enough

i had similar report in the past about missing popup authentication window and resolved it by allowing insecure ntlm authentications to prefs.js:

if you manage to sort out your issue then please post correct about:conf settings so i can include them in kiosk by default.

thank you

Was not able to get this resolved, unfortunately. The ntlm-v1 line was already in the prefs file. I added the other non-fqdn line to it and still nothing. Loads a "server not found" page.
