ASP with firefox and Opera Authentication

[wesley]

Hi

i am desiging a website with Asp.net and i want it to be cross-platform. But when ever i run the project and open it with firefox or opera it ask's for the login authentication. This never happens with IE and in Fire fox it ask's for my system login password and ID and for Opera it says "The server requested a login authentication method that is not supported"


what can i do for this.

Believe it's more of an IIS problem than FF or Opera. Unless there's a good reason not to, set the security for the directory of your project to allow anynomous access in IIS. IE will use Windows Authentification in the background, everyone else won't.

HI thank's for your reply

your suggestion is correct but now it's not letting me to access the database using OleddbAdapter


thank you

[chrismartz]

Do you get any sort of error?

[russell]

this has absolutely nothing to do with the browser. how are u accessing the db? as chrids asks...what error are u getting?

[TheBearMay]

Just a guess, but you may have to grant Connect, Select, etc at the DB.

[wesley]

when i am tring to access the database using oleDbAdapter it gives me an "UnSpecified Error"

And it's noy letting me to open the Database.
you can see the error message below.

so what kind of object is con exactly and what does your connection string look like?

[wesley]

con = OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)

Connection string = the string which gives the jet connection to the database

[Ubik]

You have this code:

con = OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)

Please code this around that code:

response.write "<p>My Connection string is: '" & ConnectionString & "'.</p>"
con = OleDbConnection(ConnectionString)
response.end

Then, copy and paste that output here.
