Question

Currently on my SharePoint 2010 install the My Sites section is roped off on a sub-domain (port 80) of the main site collection. Whenever anyone opens the main site it automatically detects their username through AD and logs them in without prompting them. If they try to enter the My Sites sub-domain they are prompted to enter their username and password.

How do I get the My Sites site collection to act like the main site collection in regards to user credentials?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Most likely it is because the browser is not detecting that the subsite is in the proper domain. in IE, this is accomplished by making sure that everything that is *.intranetdomain.com is in the "Local Intranet" zone, which is usually done via Policy. It can also be done manually by going to Tools-Options-Internet settings-Security-Local Intranet-Sites-Advanced

OTHER TIPS

The simplest way I would go for it is implementing Kerberos. That, combined with browser settings to enable "Intranet Token caching" should do it for you in a blink.
