When iShare GIS is set up with roles and the users access it via a domain name that differs from the hostname there can be an issue authenticating users as IIS attempts to authenticate users against the domain name instead of the domain that the machine belongs to.

Adding a registry key sorts IIS out:

  • Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  • In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
  • Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
  • Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER.
  • Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify.
  • In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites (the host name used in the request URL) that are on the local computer, and then click OK.
  • Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the IISAdmin service and run IISReset.
