Kerberos 401 authentication with form fallback
Thanks all. Yes I agree, checking their IP can determine if the device is on the internal network. There are cases, however, where a device internal is not joined to the network and Kerberos 401 will fail.
It seems it could be possible to alter the response message that is displayed. It would be nice if this was a standard option. A few ideas better than issuing a simple 'Authentication required to access the resources" message. Not quite sure what the URL would be to continue the access policy 'fallback' or another branch on the 401:
- Present a login page and the user can complete and submit to continue the access policy. This would provide a familiar set of information that the users are familiar with (the basic login tends to confuse people and not everyone trusts it as they don't know who is asking for their information).
- Embed a link to a login page (somehow) <a href>. If there is a URL available that the user could click to respond back to the 401 and hit the 'fallback' or perhaps another custom branch of that step.
- Meta http-equiv refresh to the response URL so the user would not need to click anything.
- Javascript to handle a redirect to a login page.
Just seems there should be cleaner way to allow the user to proceed, especially when the SSO was initiated by the service provider.
