Chrome uses windows settings for all of it's security policies, so when you configure IE, chrome will comply and work automatically. In Active Directory (AD) environments, the default authentication protocol for IWA is Kerberos, with a fall back to NTLM. Internet Explorer supports Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) out-of-the-box, but may need additional configuration due to the network or domain environment.
You just need to whitelist the domain names you need to allow automatic authentication to, and let windows save your credentials. Why can't the browser just know who you are and authenticate you automatically.įirefox, Chrome/IE do it slightly differently, but it's essentially the same process. If you're in an authenticated network environment, an intranet or other workplace environment where you need to authenticate using NTLM, you've probably been frustrated by the situation where you need to enter your windows credentials a dozen or more times a day, even though you're already logged into the network itself, in order to access resources on your corporate intranet - Webmail, time-sheets, documents, HR and probably many others.
