Case Sensitive User IDs?Isn't 117 a field to map to the network authentication ID whereas 101 the actual login name? And 101 is case sensitive.. 101 is actually used to validate the user name in the ARS, whereas the alias is used if present only to authenticate the password on AD or your windows or UNIX server as the case may be. So if you ignore the case sensitivity on 101, you will be logged in as a guest user if you are configured for guest users.
For more information about authentication alias, open up the Admin Help file and in the Search tab, type "Setting up an authentication alias".

We are using network authentication (not area ldap). Both cross reference blank passwords and authenticate unregistered users are checked. All our staff have blank passwords in the User form. Every now and then a user only gets a read license. The problem seems to occur when the user enters an ID in Remedy that does not match the case sensitivity of their network account (network account is JoeUser, Remedy account is joeuser). I am using the special field Authentication Login Name (field ID 117) which matches exactly their network ID. Any ideas why this happens? Is the Remedy user ID case sensitive? Shouldn't field ID 117 fix any problem? Is this another old bug reintroduced by my upgrade to 7.1? One other question. In the user log I am seeing Impersonated by MidTier Service when some users login? ARS/MidTier 7.1 on IIS.
