We have a preference to use windows login as the security authentication method (rather than Database login). However, we have some shared PC’s in our logisitics depot and this method would require each user to log in to windows with their own username and password, as the Navision client does not prompt for the username and password with the Windows Login option. We currently do not have roaming profile set-up and therefore users would need to login at their own PC only, i.e. unable to work from other user’s PC’s should they need to do this. Does anyone know of a way around this without moving to Database logins, where we would need to move to maintaining a separate user list that does not link to Active Directory, scheduled password changes, etc, etc. Basically, we would like to use Windows login but for each Client to prompt for the username and password on opening the application from the client. Hope you can help
Maybe you can use the Secondary Logon service from Windows. This probably only exists in Windows XP. Create a new shortcut for Navision, go onto its properties, Shortcut tab, Advanced and check Run with different credentials. I haven’t tried it with Navision but it does work for a few other programs. Give it a try.
If somebody read this, I have to say that executing the shortcut with session user credentials does NOT work [:@]
It’s OK know to validate windows login with the actual windows session, just adding to the shortcut properties “ntauthentication=Yes” [:D]
so if I understand your question, you want to use windows logins, but you don’t want to be required to use windows logins, you can’t have it both ways, just switch to database login
