Outlook web page always asks for username and password

[Lata]

Windows XP
Outlook 2003

I have a web application which authenticates with Windows Integrated
authentication. When I open it in Outlook 2003 in Windows 2000 or in IE
on Windows XP, it works fine.
If it is opened as a webpage in Outlook, it always asks for username and
password.

What is the difference with XP? and why should it open OK in IE, but not
in Outlook - are there more settings in Outlook?

IE will probably open your site in the Internet security zone (unless you
have put your domain in a different security zone).

Outlook, by default, will use the Restricted Sites security zone. Outlook
is not and should not be used as a web browser. It is an *e-mail* client.

I should have explained what this does. It is a webpage which
administers an Exchange addon which is is installed on a server in the
domain. I'm not wanting Outlook to browse the internet. It doesn't
need to be done from outlook, just would be useful that way.

You said "Outlook 2003 in Windows 2000" worked. What security zone is
Outlook 2000 configured for over there and, if the Restricted Sites security
zone, is that zone at its default High setting? "Opening" the mail in
OL2003 (on Windows 2000) means what? That you are using Outlook as an
e-mail client, receiving an HTML-formatted e-mail, and your page or links
work okay that way? If so, what happens when you use OL2003 on Windows 2000
to open "as a webpage" (which I'm not sure what you as opposed to just
sending them an HTML-formatted mail versus setting up a folder in Outlook
which points to a web site's URL).
