Troubleshooting authentication rules
In rule-based authentication, problems often present as:
- Users are not challenged for credentials when a challenge is expected
- Users are challenged for credentials when no challenge is expected
- User authentication is performed against the wrong domain
These problems occur in one of the following phases of user authentication processing:
- General user authentication logic (outlined below)
- Rule definition and matching
- User authentication protocol processing (IWA, NTLM, LDAP; for IWA troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting Integrated Windows Authentication.)
