Description

In edge webview2, we observed that when we try to access NetworkShare Connector over intranet, two/more authentication dialogs are prompted (they may appear at the same time in overlapped manner, or with seconds internal)..
This issue is also occur when we try to access the same with the Edge browser. When we try CEF based WebView there is only one Auth prompt.

Research direction

Start by reproducing access to NetworkShare Connector over an intranet in Edge WebView2 and record whether multiple overlapping or delayed authentication dialogs appear. Compare the same access in Edge and the CEF-based WebView; done means the expected single-prompt behavior is clearly characterized and the cause or next owner is identified.
