Has anyone else come across this problem?
I have just upgraded to a new windows 7 64bit machine and have been having problems logging into my cPanel managed sites with Internet Explorer 8.
Basically what happens is that at the login page a new window appears with the title "Windows Security" and the message "The server at (server name) requires a username and password" folloed by "Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner(basic authentication without a secure connection)". I duly enter my username and password for the site and it is deemed incorrect. The cPanel legacy login then appears and I enter the same credentials which are then accepted.
Most of the sites I manage via cpanel are with the same company but I have one which is hosted elsewhere and also has a cPanel. When I try to log into this one I immediately get the legacy cPanel dialogue and the credentials are accepted. With all the other sites however I get the Windows Security login dialogue first and this is what fails. Why would that be?
I have no problems with any other browsers, just IE8. I would be very grateful for any insite into this strange behaviour and if it is possible to do anything about it.
