Ok, I have some username greater then 8 characters that are working.
For example: user a logs on to windows as randerson and to baan as rander2.
user b logs on to windows as jjohanson and to baan as jjohans2.

Both user a and user b currently work.

I set up two new users that have an Active Directory login of 9 characters (similar to user a and b) and they don't work.

I've asked infor and two consultants and we don't know why user a and b are working but the two I set up are not.

Any thoughts?

In user data, what is the system login field set to for user b? It should be set to "jjohanson". Also, do you have a "-- -set USER=jjohans2" in the bwc for user b?

in user data, jjohanson is set to jjohans2. And no, no set command.

How about this? Can I make a user in Baan that does not have an Active Directory username? For example "test". I want to be able to log on to the domain as me and use "test" to log into Baan. Is that possible?

1. When you set up the Baan user test, set the system login field to your domain user name.

2. In your bwc file configuration, add this to the command section "-- -set USER=test"

3. Log in; For username and password, use your domain user information.

If this doesn't work, please update the post with any errors.

Thanks,

Ok. That makes sencse and it worked. However, is there anyway of setting up a Baan user that does not require any Active Directory or Local User authentication?

Basically, I want to set up "test" in Baan only. Is that possible?

Afraid not. You have to authenticate against something, either the host machine, or a distributed method (AD, LDAP, etc...).

Thanks,
