There must be no proxy servers between the browser and the CMS. Use the proxy bypass list in the

The browser must be configured to support automatic sign-in.
Procedure 2-1 Configuring the browser in Internet Explorer
1. In Internet Explorer, enable Integrated Windows Authentication under Tools
→Internet
Options
→Advanced tab.

Tools
→Internet Options→Security tab.

Configuring the browser in Firefox:
Firefox must be configured with a list of sites (for example, the CMS) where automatic sign-in can be
performed, and should be restricted to local intranet sites. This list can be configured by entering
about:config
in the Firefox address bar. From the list of Preference Names, select
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and either double-click or right-click, and select Modify. Here, you
can specify a comma-separated list of URLs or domains, enter the list of URLs used to access Systems Insight
Manager. For example:https://cms_fqdn, where
cms_fqdn is the FQDN of the CMS.
Behavior
When automatic sign-in occurs, an intermediate sign-in page appears. If you click Cancel from this page,
the manual sign-in page appears. You might want to cancel automatic sign-in if any unexpected network or
domain errors occur. If any browser configuration errors are detected, automatic sign-in is cancelled and
the manual sign-in page appears along with the configuration error.
Failures encountered during automatic sign-in are logged as normal sign-in failures in both the audit log and
the event log. If automatic sign-in is not attempted, no failure is detected or logged by Systems Insight
Manager.
If automatic sign-in is configured, you can manually sign in to Systems Insight Manager.

automatic sign-in, or the feature is disabled in Systems Insight Manager.

to use if you are signed in to the operating system with a different account.
