==Supported web browsers==

Integrated Windows Authentication works with most modern web browsers,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/Gino/Integrated+Windows+Authentication|title = Integrated Windows Authentication - Gino Pipeline - SLAC Confluence}}</ref> but does not work over some HTTP [[proxy server]]s.<ref name=iisDocumentation/> Therefore, it is best for use in [[intranet]]s where all the clients are within a single [[Windows Server ___domain|___domain]]. It may work with other web browsers if they have been configured to pass the user's logon credentials to the server that is requesting authentication. Where a proxy itself requires NTLM authentication, some applications like Java may not work because the protocol is not described in RFC-2069 for proxy authentication.
