LAPI and Directory Services and NTLM

I am using a C dll and want to access the livelink resources. I am using the Directory Services module where NT users have no need to re-enter username and pwd when connecting to livelink (NTLM Authentication). I am synchronizing with an Active Directory and keeping the password as Hidden within the Sync manager in the Admin.Index section within Livelink.So, what values should I assigned for the username and password when I want to create a Session within livelink by LL_SessionAlloc()??? Or LL_SessionAllocEx() are there any other ways to achieve this? Can anybody provide some source code for reference? Thank you very much

You need to pass empty strings for the username and password. Otherwise, I believe Livelink will still attempt to use them.

if(LL_SessionAllocEx(&session, "server", 80, "db", "", "",config) == LL_OK)

OK, we've got the login working now, and we are generating a valid session. I can see all the documents I have permissions to, but I am having a problem getting my rights. Immediately after connecting (via the LL_SessionAllocEx() call indicated in the previous response), I am issuing the following call: LL_ValueAlloc (&rights); status = LL_ListRights (ll_session,LL_USER,user, rights);Where ll_session is the return from LL_SessionAllocEx(), LL_USER is 0, user is my username (DOMAIN\username), and rights is an LLVALUE. After the return, the value of status is 401602. Is there something special that needs to be done in order to get this value? Thanks!

Error 401602 is "Could Not Get User Or Group". Double check that the user in Livelink is actually stored as DOMAIN\username instead of just username. Also, the user must not be deleted.

If that doesn't help, turn on connect logs and send them to support. They can look at the SQL statement being called to pull the user from the KUAF table.

To turn on the necessary logs, go to the Configure Debug Settings page from the Admin pages and select the following settings:

Debug=2

Log Connections

Verbose Logging

Then generate the error and send the thread and connect files from the logs directory to support@opentext.com with a blurb about the problem.

Please do not post logs here, they contain sensitive information about your system.

Thanks,

Kevin
