Forms Authentication - Multiple Virtual Servers

Matthew Trigg

I am currently evaluating UTM 9.4 and don't seem to be able to find a specific answer to this.

We have 2 virtual web servers, 2 real web servers, both using Forms reverse authentication.

 

I want to be able to log into the first, and then go to the second without having to authenticate again.

Is this possible? currently if i switch to the second site, it takes me back to the logon form.

 

This would be a real pain for users for the likes of Sharepoint... switching between the Intranet / Teams / MySites and having to logon each time.

    Hi,

    if you have two different virtual web servers, this is not possible.

    Hi Matthew,

    why do you need two virtual web servers for sharepoint? With one virtual web server, that should be possible.

    Hi, Matthew, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    You really should pick a Sophos Solution Partner reseller in your area now and get some hands-on help with your first configuration using WebAdmin.  Our policy is to do up to four hours of configuration during an evaluation and to only bill that after a decision is made to purchase.  Of course, if more work is required, that is immediately billable.  You should be able to negotiate something with the reseller you choose.

    Cheers - Bob

    Thanks for replying to this.

    I have configured a single virtual web server with 2 domain names. e.g. testing.domain.com and testing2.domain.com

    2 real servers, pointing to the internal address of testing and testing2 (actually the same server with 2 sites similar to SharePoint setup)

    IIS is configured to listen on those names.

     

    Log into testing, works fine.

    Go to testing2... also works fine but you still need to log in again.

    Also tried the Virtual web server with a wildcard cert and *.domain.com and get the same result.

     

    I guess what I am expecting is a "Pre-Authentication" situation like TMG does...

    I have come to the conclusion that its not the same.

     

    Thanks for the welcome and advice Bob I get what you are saying,

    I am OK mucking around with this stuff myself before getting too carried away, but this is the only issue I have really come across.
