Windows Authentication get lost

web-app

I have Gemini configured to use Windows Auth. Its working in general, but a few times, Gemini refused to login users. It shows the login screen for forms authentication. Only a restart of IIS or an recycle of the application pool would help.
Today I found the reason. If the gemini web application is not running, e.g. restart IIS, and the first request is sth. like the following:

http://webserver/Gemini/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?m=1&id=359
after this first request, Gemini does never use the windows auth.

Which version of Gemini are you using?

Make sure that "anonymous access" is not ticked in IIS for Gemini.

Sorry, forgot to mention this basic thing.
I'm using gemini 2.0.4, and yes anonymous access in IIS is disabled.
In general windows authentication works. E.g I always access Gemini through Main.aspx. But if you send around links to issues to coworkers, they cannot access Gemini anymore.

I think this was an issue with 2.0.4, please upgrade to 2.0.5.

Thanks, will give it a try.

[Edit]
Seems to work. At least the previously repeatable problem is gone. It seems the issue is not opend but thats another, minor  problem. Will keep you informed.
