Problem

When logging into WorkflowGen directly on the WorkflowGen server through FireFox using the url http://localhost/wfgen , there is a security error denying entry to the application.

Explanation

WorklfowGen is a Web Based application that can use IIS security to authenticate users attempting to log into it.  In some cases, Integrated Authentication is used so that users have a "single sign on" experience (IIS will request the Windows User login information to sign in to WorkflowGen). 

IIS can use Integrated Authentication to log into WorkflowGen, and by default IE has the ability to use these credentials (your windows user account)...  In fact, so does Firefox!  But to activate this feature you will need to make a quick configuration change to how FireFox uses your windows account.

Solution

To setup FireFox to use Integrated Authentication, follow the steps below:

1) Open up Firefox and type in about:config as the url
2) In the Filter, type in "ntlm"
3) Double click "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris" and type in "localhost" (without the quotes) and hit enter.
