Hi,
We have some special weirdness happening with Samba and windows XP here. Background: We are wanting to install a third party product passlogix, V-GO single sign on product on windows (http://www.passlogix.com), which authenticates against a windows server. Basically it uses the windows Authentication to allow the decryption of a credential database, to allow automatic signing on to many Applications. It allows a user only to have to remember a single password, and then sign on to multiple Applications. Great appplication. Useful for medicos, who otherwise have to remember 10 passwords that roll each month Etc. Anyway. To cut a long story short. We have tried this on 2.2.5 and 2.2.2 and the same thing happens. Anyway. We install the product on W2K and it works and on WINXP (against the same samba server and she broke). The product requires the user to re-authenticate prior to decrypting the credential database. Some samba logs of the product working nicely are http://www.aeco.com.au/~ajones/log.good http://www.aeco.com.au/~ajones/log.smbd.good http://www.aeco.com.au/~ajones/log.smbd.good (all in HTML format) Now when we run the SAME product on win XP, she no authenticates. http://www.aeco.com.au/~ajones/log.bad http://www.aeco.com.au/~ajones/log.smbd.bad http://www.aeco.com.au/~ajones/log.nmbd.bad Now interestingly. When we use *DISCONNECT* the WINXP box from the network (using winXP) cached credentials, ie no samba Authentication it works like a treat. ONLY when Samba is queried she broke. We can provide a copy of the passlogix product if people are keen to help. Seems like the WinXP is doing things differently. Now I should point out that WINXP, authenticates against the samba server as part of the windows login PERFECTLY. So as far as windows is concerned everything is nice with samba, only this third party product, which WE HAVE To RUN is broken. All help is gladly appreciated. I don't want to have to install active directory.!!!! Thanks Alan B.
