I am trying to use AD on 5.4.4. 

On the settings screen:

  1. The test results are all successful. 
  2. I have synchronize role unchecked.
  3. I have defined an auto-login IP range.

I have changed the web.config to Impersonate.

It works when use the URL /DesktopModules/AuthenticationService....

Auto-login does not work.

The manual login fails with the message "Login Failed. Please remember that passwords are case sensitive" and generates an exception in the event log.

Any ideas on why I get the exception, why the manual login does not work and why the auto login does not work?

Thanks,
Greg Hart

I have done more testing and I find the auto-login does work! This leaves me with the problem of the manual login not working and generating the exception noted in my last post. Thanks, Greg Hart

Quick question..... how long are your passwords? By default the web.config expects them to be 7 digits long but you can change it to make it a lower value. Also when logging in manually login as Domain\Username unless you set the default domain in the settings.

My password is excactly 7 characters long. Another person's is 9 characters long. I have tried with and without the domain and setting a default domain and leaving it blank. The only thing that does not work is the manual login. Anything other than the event log I can check for errors? Any logs or traces I can turn on?

There's no difference between automatic or manual logins other than the need to type in the credentials.

So things to consider:
  1. Are you clicking on Windows Signin when you go to the login page?
  2. Are you entering you login as Domain\Username?
  3. Are there any programs or settings on your network that might be blocking the passing of your credentials?
