We have Baan5.0c setup in windows2000 server. I need to know
How do we can set up user in baan to validate against their domain account(Network login) instead of using local system login.
The client do change their Network password for every 90 days and they have some setup rules. Any help will be appreciated.

in your BWC file, for Username use:

username\domain

to have your PDC authenticate.

or you can use the SSPI login - this will "reuse" signons that are successful for other network resources.

in our BWC file we use:

username\domain

to have our PDC authenticate the users.

but the password is not being authenticated.

We use Triton 3.1 / hpux10.20 and the PDC is WinNT40 Server.

Our bwc file looks like:

[ApplicationServer]
bse=/baan/bse
bshell=bshell
command=
location=
connection=
[Remote]
hostname=host....
domain=
username\OUR_DOMAIN=
logindialog=YES
serveros=
[NLS]
locale=ISO
RightToLeft=False
[Font]
fontName80=Fixedsys
fontWidth80=0
fontHeight80=-12
fontWeight80=normal
fontItalic80=NO
fontName132=Fixedsys
fontWidth132=0
fontHeight132=-12
fontWeight132=normal
fontItalic132=NO

Any comments?

Greetings HM

hm:
two things. You are on Unix, so the BWC file handles your unix login. this is completely different than an NT login. I don't know how to setup Unix to authenticate to a NT/2000 PDC. There may be some 3rd party products for this. You will notice that mraja is running on a win2K server, not on Unix. The domain authentication only makes sense in this context.

2nd comment: how/why are you using a bwc file with Triton 3.1? This was introduced in Baan IV.

Guess samba can check your account from unix to the pdc (if I do understand that correctly).
Since Triton uses the same tools version of BIV you can use bw there as well.

Yes,
if you need to connect a Unix machine to a Windows Primary Domain Controller, you need the latest samba.
A new daemon in samba is winbindd that is able to create a user account based on a network account. it will migrate all you windows account to unix account, and it will maintain the link between the two accounts.
For more information on this very nice feature, please have a look at:
