Active Driectory Authentication

Anyone know how, or can point me to an article about how to setup Mozilla to authenticate a user via Active Driectory?
 
You need to be more specific. Mozilla what? Firefox? Is this a web application running within Firefox, or something else?
 
Yes, sorry. It is Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4. It is not a web app running with the browser, but while on an intranet page, if you select a link to go to another intranet page, the page will first try to authenticate you based on who is logged into Windows. Well our IE is tied into AD on the DC, so it will authenticate you without prompting you to log in. But with Firefox, it will prompt you every time because it isn't pointed at the DC to authenticate the user and I was wondering if anyone knew how to set this up or could point me to a tutorial or article or anything?

I tried searching google and could only find out how to setup an Address Book to be tied into AD, and I think that might have been for Bugzilla.
 
Type about:config in the address bar. Use the filter and search for: network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris

Set the value to whatever your Intranet is, i.e. myintranet if it its http://myintranet/
 
I'll try that...but it doesn't look like it will work, what exactly will it do? It kinda sounds like it's pointing Firefox back to w/e intranet page I put in the field to authenticate the user...is that right?


Meanwhile, I'll check out the reset of these options on this page.
 
It's basically saying use your active directory authentication if requested for the urls (uris) that is in that list (you can add one or more). It does work because I use on the PC's at my company for firefox.
 
Thats weird....it didn't work here. Could it be that you intranet page authentication is different then our? Because I point it to that page, but I still get prompted all the time for UN and PW.
