Accessing a https site using IE6, the user was asked for the logon and
password once when entering the site. The user could then navigate around in
the site including opening secure frames, and the logon username and password
would be automatically applied and the new page or frames seamlessly accessed.

With IE 7, every change on the page requires the logon and password to be
re-entered. Even if the password box pops up with the user name and password
stored and available, the constant act of having to click OK is irritating.

Why is the behavior of the setting different on IE 7?

Will Microsoft fix this problem?

If not, is there a work-around for this problem?

Thanks, TedMac

Hi,
That's not normal IE7 behavior. I would check cookie settings at Internet
Options> Privacy. Try a setting of Low or Accept all or place the site in
the "Always allow" list.

If unsuccessful with that, check third-party security programs for a cookie
management feature and disable it.

Turn on the Windows Firewall from Control Panel> Windows Firewall and
disable any third-party firewall to see if the third-party program is
causing the problem.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for taking the time to respond Don. However, changing cookies
settings does not work. It's also not a fiewall or proxy issue. I have two
machines side-by-side, one with IE 6 and one with IE 7. The IE 6 machine
will navigate to a new page or new frame without intervention. The iE 7
machine will not.

My conclusion is that the logic checking for secure pages in IE 7 is not the
same sequence as it was for IE 6 resulting in always requiring a logon for
each new page. If a new logon is always required, then "Automatic logon with
current username and password" is rendered useless. The Microsoft IE
porgrammers have to address this.

Thanks for the help. Maybe we'll get additional comments.

Hi,
See if this article helps (the IE workaround section.)
937480- You experience connection problems when you use Internet Explorer to
browse through pages on a secure Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937480/en-us

Next, with the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as
passwords and you will have to reinstall browser add-ons, work through this
article:
936213- How to optimize or reset Internet Explorer 7:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/en-us

Have you tried disabling third-party security programs?
