A client is setting up his network to force the user to change passwords every 90 days. Does anyone know of a way to auto-change the users’ Navision Password to match the network password?
Hi, Navision has Option ‘UnifiedLogonAllowed’. If this option Yes Navision will use Network UserId and ignore password. Valentin Gvozdev BMI Inc.
Isn’t that only for the SQL version? Simon
Nope, that’s for the proprietary database, as well. Regards, Mark
UnifiedLogonAllowed works fine, sometimes. Occasionally, it will stop authenticating with NT and will ask for the Navision User ID and password (which is not synchronized automatically with NT). This behavior will continue until the Navision “Financials Server” database service is stopped, then started. Why? We and Navision don’t know why. Please post any other solution to this problem. Thanks.

Hi Valentin, can you please tell me where can I find the option? Thanks. Regards Tirta
Hi Rizal, UnifiedLogonAllowed is an option of older Navision Financials versions (up to 2.60). If you still use one of these versions, you can find it under menu “File”->“Database”->“Options…”. Newer versions use Windows Authentication which is an overwhelming improvement.
Thanks Nelson for your hint. I have looked into Financials 2.60, but didn’t find too what you have said. (File-Database-…) We are now using Attain 3.60, no SQL-Database. I am looking for any hint to force the user in Navision to change their password every 90 days, and also to check if the password is trivialpassword or not. Or someway that Admin can rule the password regulation… Does anyone here have any idea? Sorry for my poor englisch. Best regards Rizal

Oops: up to (but not including) 2.60… [:I] But since you are on 3.60, you don’t have to worry about it. What Server OS are you running? You can integrate Navision’s logins with your Windows logins through the “Windows Authentication” I mentioned. That way you enforce the password policy for the whole Domain. One thing you should know: when using Windows Authentication, users are no longer required to supply User ID/Password in Navision. The same credentials they have logged in to Windows are used by Navision. Maybe this is not what you are after…
Hi Nelson, it’s ok. No problem. The problem is: we are using database authentification. So… c’mon… another tip? Best regards Tirta
You could try hooking some code into Codeunit1 in LogInStart and go from there. You might be able to adjust the user’s roles if they haven’t changed their password so they can’t do much until they have changed their p/w. You might need to maintain another table for user and last password change if you can capture that. I was able to add a field to the User table so you might be able to store than info there. All untested of course but it might be a direction to try. Cheers, Django
