Dimitri,

I might be misinterpreting what you wrote, but it
sounds as if when the web browser prompts you to enter
your Censornet username & password, you enter those,
but then cancel that login rather than clicking
"okay".  Is this correct?

By design, Censornet blocks web access when a web
browser either logs in with an incorrect
username/password combination, or refuses to log in
(such as by cancelling the log in process).

To my knowledge, it isn't able to automatically
authenticate against Windows users against an AD
server; though, as others have mentioned, it can
initially populate its user/password database from AD.

That you're getting a login request signifies that you
are communicating with the Censornet box.
