Windows authentication failing on one machine only

I have faced similar problem with the chrome and was not able to open any intranet websites . I did everything to solve it but nothing worked got really frustrated. Finally came across to the above post. By looking at the lines

I have checked tools -> internet options -> security -> local intranet -> advanced options -> user authentication, where it is set to provide username and password automatically.

got some clue. I was curious what is the username and password used if we check the 'automatic username and password' box and exactly this was what was the solution.

The automatic username and password is taken from Windows Vault(Search for "Manage Network Password" inside Control Panel). In my case there was an entry in the Windows Credentials category. This was the username and password which was used in case we have checked the 'automatic username and password' box in the tools -> internet options -> security -> local intranet -> advanced options -> user authentication.

So the solution is either correct that entry or remove that entry altogether if you are sure that you don't require it elsewhere.

Chrome saves certain credentials in Windows Credential Vault (start | search for Manage Windows Credentials) you will see your credentials there. Delete the credential and you will be prompted for fresh creds.

Chrome share security settings of IE. Open your page in IE, go to tools -> internet options --> security tab --> Local intranet --> Sites --> Advanced --> Add this website to the zone field --> Input the web site you are trying to visit which is throwing ERR_ACCESS_DENIED error including the right protocol which you are using like http or https and click Add button In Security tab, continue to make sure Intranet Zone is highlighted and click on custom level button Under the (last) section User Authentication, make sure you select following option: Automatic logon only in Intranet Zone

If you are logged on to the domain and your web site is using Integrated windows authentication, then this resolution will work and you will be able to get rid of ERR_ACCESS_DENIED.

After this if it does not work, clear your browser following items from browser cache: Cookies and other site and plugin data Cached images and files

Restart browser.

If it does not work, restart your machine.

"For me restating machine helped"

If it still does not work change "Automatic logon only in Intranet Zone" setting back to "Prompt for user name and password" in IE options and restart your browsers and retry.

Good luck!
