Would a Macintosh based user have trouble accessing an extranet site that is

IIS based that requires Windows authentication? If so, is there any way

around this?

Yes - switch to Basic authentication.

Hello Michael,



The Mac cannot communicate with Windows Authentication. Basic

authentication, or something else (forms authentication for example) will

work.



Basic Authentication does however send the information in clear text, which

might not be acceptable. You maybe want to look into using SSL to encrypt

the data sent, and protect you against network sniffing.
