Symptoms

Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Password Reset v11.1.2.3.0

An unexpected windows security prompt is displayed when accessing any of the following web services URLs to verify connectivity to the ESSO-PR web server:

  EnrollmentClient: https://<IIS_WEBSERVER_NANE>:<IIS_PORT>/vGOSelfServiceReset/ WebServices/Enrollment.asmx

  ManagementClient: https://<IIS_WEBSERVER_NANE>:<IIS_PORT>/vGOSelfServiceReset/ WebServices/Administration.asmx

  ResetClient: https://<IIS_WEBSERVER_NANE>:<IIS_PORT>/vGOSelfServiceReset/ WebServices/PasswordReset.asmx

If the user enters credentials into the windows security prompt, the page returns an HTTP 401.1.Unauthorized response

If the user cancels the prompt without entering credentials then the page returns an HTTP 401.2 Unauthorized response.

Testing performed based on completing the configuration outlined in step 4.6.6.5 of configuring ESSO-PR.
