Hello,
I have deployed FIM 2010 R2 with Password Registration Site and Password Reset. While testing my environment I run into the following problem:
=> When opening https://passwordregistration.contoso.com:443 I get an authentication Dialog three times and then I get an "unauthorized http error 401.1" ... any ideas?

Hello!
I think it's a Kerberos Delegation issue. Do you have created the SPN ? Does your URL corresponding to a CNAME or A record in DNS ?

Hello and thanks for reply...It is a DNS host entry on the DC...the Kerberos authentication works fine for the SharePoint site and identitymanagement page...am I missing an SPN?

I had exactly the same issuea few days ago, and the resolution was, for me :
- Having an A record for the URL (passwordregistration.contoso.com for you)
- Creating a SPN for this url with the machine name (ex: setspn -S http://passwordregistration.contoso.com CONTOSO\SERVERNAME$)
Maybe you don't have the SON with the machine name...

off topic: while one might choose to use kerberos, there is no delegation involved.

THANK YOU that was my mistake ;) forgot make this spn ... just a short question to this: during Installation: is it necessary to provide a HTTPS link for the Password Registration Site? I mean is it also possible to use it without SSL? In my current configuration I provided HTTPS and it uses an untrusted certificate (have no CA currently available in my test Environment) .. I get one authentication prompt but then the Password Registration Site is loading just fine...

It's better to use HTTPS, but you don't have to :)
If I mean right what you said, you are still prompted for an authentication ?
