Sharepoint site with FQDN host header login prompt in IE7
Body: I found myself with login prompt on SharePoint website with Fully Qualified Host Name (FQDN) host header, even though workstation and user is member of Active Directory domain. FQDN host header is for example portal.mysite.com instead of single-name host header portal.
In my case problem was that IE misinterpret zone for portal.mysite.com as Internet, and Interent zone is configured that it prompts user with login dialog. To resolve this I simply added site to local Intranet:
- Open IE and go to Tools -> Internet Options
- Select Security tab and click Local Intranet zone
- Click on Sites button and Click Advanced
- Add your site to local Intranet zone
