401.1 errors with Windows Authentication IIS 8.5 Win 2012 R2, lots of detail no answers

iis-8windows-authenticationwindows-server-2012

Completely stumped at this one. We've got an internal web server accessed by users for a variety of sites. One of those requires Windows Authentication the site is http://caf. ("caf" is an A record in DNS in our domain)

The server itself is set up for Windows Authentication:
installed roles

And the site is set up like this:

Authentication
Advanced Settings
Providers

Believe me, every permutation of the provider order, extended protection, and kerberos switch have been tried over the past few days of debugging.

After repeated prompting for name/password, the error that comes back is 401 Unauthorized. The name and password are correct, have not been locked out, are being presented with the domain name, etc..

I turned on failed request tracing, and this is what comes out of it:

Failed Request

Detail here, but I've omitted some for brevity:

trace1

trace2

trace3

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on here? Perhaps suggest a remedy?

Best Answer

This could be loop back issue, are you trying to access the IIS site from the same machine.

Try accessing the site from different machine in the LAN.
