Accessing Business Portal 6.1 from Another Domain Machine, You're Prompted for User Credentials Three Times, Then Receive a Blank Screen

Derek Albaugh of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Support and Services team says he and his colleagues have seen a few cases where Business Portal 6.1 for Dynamics GP 2013 is installed and running correctly on the web server on which it is installed. However, when a user tries to access the app from other domain machines - even using the same user credentials that he's able to use to access Business Portal 6.1 on the web server - the user gets prompted three times or so to enter his credentials, and then he gets a blank screen in Internet Explorer.

"What we have found is that there appears to be a change with how SharePoint 2013 handles the authentication on the web applications that we create and use to install Business Portal 6.1 onto. Even though the recommendation and default setting is NTLM over Kerberos when the web application and site collection are setup within SharePoint, the site is still setup to use Kerberos authentication."
