Hello all - I have a web domain setup within our intranet and I have turned on Windows Authentication, however when I RDP into a computer and try to access the website I am prompted with a Login/Password form.

How do I get it to inherit the session username and password?

Currently the only way I know to get rid of this is to enable anonymous access. If I do this then everyone is seen as anonymous because of the hierarchy of authentication.

From Microsoft:
Anonymous authentication is attempted first, followed by Windows Integrated authentication, Digest authentication (if applicable), and finally Basic (clear text) authentication

The reason this is an issue is because I have a process getting initiated from the website that sends a web service to the server that goes and tries to create a pdf of a page (daily reporting setup). When it tries to open the page it prompts the service for a username and password and it doesn't know how to handle it.
