User prompted for login in Sharepoint

SharePoint is a pre-requisite for Business Portal, a component of our Dynamics GP application for several clients.  A tough problem I've run into just now and before is SharePoint prompting the user to login.


Normally a user is granted access to SharePoint through SharePoint group membership.  That is typically all that is required.  When that user's network account is added to a SharePoint group - such as Visitors or Members, then SharePoint should recognize them and not prompt for a login if Windows Authentication is configured.


I was stumped because even though Windows Authentication is configured the Web Application configuration was set for Kerberos.  I needed to go into SharePoint Central Administration and change the Web App to NTLM to solve that little problem.
