Client Server and Active Directory

Post by Kevin Klappstein »

Has anyone installed 4.1x client server on a windows server using active directory? Does BR client server work with Active Directory for authenticating users when the users are defined elsewhere and not set up on the server? If it does is there anything special that needs to be done to get it to work?

We have been for sometime. Only issue that I recall was making sure that the domain user was allowed to logon locally to the server where brserver app is running. Similar to what you have to do anyway. Just rather than allowing the local account, need to allow the domain account or group, I believe.

I ran into some strange issues with Active Directory on a Windows SBS server 2003. What we were experiencing is that lots of times the client server login window would never come up and login_name$ would not be set.

That sounds like you were using the multisession listener and possibly didn't have it configured correctly. We do not use the multisession listener, and have not experienced anything similar to that.
