Hello,
I just have created a host header webApp in SharePoint 2013 (very normal operation) and added an `A or AAA` entry to the forward lookup zones in my dns and i created a site colelction which i cannot open… an authentication window is prompt and when i enter my credentials (as the siteCollection administrator sp_farm) but the window prompts again…
Is that what we call `LoopbackCheck` ?
Here is the details of the webApplication:
I am connected as the administrator of the farm : sp_farm
My domain: sp.local
Name of the web app : Proxym – Intranet
Prot : 80
HostHeader: ProxymIntranet
and all the rest is standard.
In dns, i added `new host A or AAA` named `ProxymIntranet` with `fqdn` `ProxymIntranet.sp.local` and bound it to the ipAdress of my `SharePoint Machine`.
I checked also in the IIS server and i found the `binding to my hostheader on the port 80`…
Finally, can anyone help solve my problem `without modifying the registry` (adding `Disable loopBackCheck DWORD`), because i need a production-env solution not only dev-env solution
Thanks in advance.
DisableLoopbackCheck is a “production” solution. Either that or BackConnectionHostNames.
