If IIS is doing the Windows Integrated Authentication (otherwise known as NTLM), this is a dialog between the browser, the IIS server, and some domain controller (to check the user's/browser's credentials). mod_jk/isapi_redirect and Tomcat do not participate in that dialog. Only when the dialog is succesful, does IIS pass the request to mod_jk/isapi_redirect (with a user-id), and from there to Tomcat. At first sight, it looks as if, under heavy IIS load, IIS may have problems achieving the NTLM user authentication (e.g., trouble contacting the domain controller ?). If that is the case, it will not be able to authenticate the browser's credentials, and will send back a 401 error to the browser. That is when the browser pops up a login dialog. When you say "the website prompt for authentication", you mean that the browser shows the built-in pop-up login window, right ? Tip: with IE, you can get an add-on called Fiddler2, which captures and shows the exact dialog between browser and server. That is useful for this kind of problem. Theoretically, you could also set the log level of mod_jk/isapi_redirect to "debug", and see that the request do not even reach mod_jk/isapi_redirect or Tomcat. But because this happens under heavy load, that would give you /tons/ of output to check, and would not be very usable in this case. Specially since you are looking for request that /do not/ reach Tomcat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
