Unless your SQL server is a DC (which I would NOT recommend) you should
set the DSN to use a fixed account, not integrated security... I.e.,
create a SQL login just for the portal stuff, and use the fixed login.
Not a sharepoint user, but I've fought with SQL pass-through enough to
recognize the symptoms...

Hi list,
I got the portal going, but I am a bit stumped on the issue of
authentication when accessing the portal.
Problem is that whenever I or any of the users connect to it, it pops up
a login-box requesting the windows login credentials.
I figured I'd make this portal the default webpage when opening IE, but
if it's going to pop the question every time you access it, I'm not so
sure using WSS is a good idea after all.
I tried tinkering with enabling anonymous access on the webserver the
portal runs off of, but I wasn't allowed in after setting it.
We use this portal on our intranet only, so everybody who's logged on to
the domain should be able to just click the link to the portal and be
transferred to it. Just like the other intranet pages that run off our
*nix-servers and the odd IIS.
Why would I need to authenticate at all while inside the domain? Has
this got to do with the writing to the sql-db?
My main question though is whether there's any way to make this thing
seamless (ie a passthrough authentication kinda'), like a background
authentication for users already logged in to the domain? The login-box
should not popup at all in this case.
TIA.
BW,
Sorin
