I run a similar setup.On IIS if that is what you usethe website that runs livelink should be configured withRelevant steps only includedProperties->Directory Security->Anonymous access and authentication control->Basic Authentication Should be checked on.It will prompt that clear text passwords will be used.Once you have done that You can test the parameters passed to livelinkby executing the livelink url and/livelink.exe?func=admin.testargsLook for REMOTE_USER it should have the / in it.For eg when I execute that it will print conoco\nairknLivelink uses the 'nairkn' to locate the user record and ....

Hi Krishna,Thanks for you valuable input. The problem with my configuration is that I have set the "Anonymous" access along with the "Integrated windows authentication" (IIS 6.0). This causes the livelink to display the logon web page. When I enter the domain user name with domain and password, it is not accepting. When I disable the Anonymous access, it simply worked. But, I saw another surprise. when I logon using my livelink internal account using livelink logon link (http://<.....>/livelink.exe?func=LL.getlogin&NextURL=/livelink/livelink.exe??Redirect=1) , it redirects me to the "logged-in" domain user workspace instead of internal user workspace. Is it a problem with Livelink Authentication???

Message from Nair, Krishnankutty N. via eLinkBut that is the way a directoried server works in the newer versions oflivelinkYou just cannot fool the livelink server the logged in computer user (READ REMOTE_USER)is theuser that the livelink server will access and authenticate period.No more login screens ,even if you put 'Admin' in the login screeninternallythe REMOTE_USER variable will be used.By trial and error I found this out when moving form 9.1 to 9.5For admin.index things give my userid system administration privsThere is no switching livelink roles.This will give you capabilityof resetting passwords,install/uninstall mods etc.If at all you need to access the 'Admin' user's workspace,we have thatrequirement because we employ a 'Admin' only trash can,you can do thaton another server.You install directory services but don't activate it.also the KB talks about a new proc whereby you install a livelink serveron a new port minus the dirsvcs module.Check that out also.Thanks MuchKrishnankutty N NairWork 918-661-5824 Fax:918-661-9206Learn more about EDMS powered by Livelink athttp://edms.conoco.net/edms.htm-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink Directory Services Discussion[mailto:directoryservices@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 1:48 PMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: Authentication Works!!Authentication Works!!Posted by Grenfell, Rich on 06/06/2005 02:48 PMHi Krishna,Thanks for you valuable input.

Hi Krishana,Thanks for your very detailed explanation on how the livelink works with DS.I have another issue in LAPI environment. When I snipped the network call, the LAPI class sends out the username and password in clear text. Is there any class/function in the LAPI wchich does the encryption before sending to Livelink??Thanks in Advance-Rich

Here's a white paper on lapi securityhttps://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=doc.ViewDoc&nodeId=2730513I believe that will give you an insight on how the whole tunneling stuff works even though I don't know whether you end up buying something.

Hi,Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, my livelink server does not have "Livelink Secure Connect" installed. I am in the process of obtaining one. Hope it will go fine.Thank you so much for your help
