LAPI and Directory Services NTLM

Aaron_Kwan

I am using a VB and want to access the livelink resources and 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). The password is Hidden.So, what values should I assign for the username and password when I want to create a Session within livelink by LL_SessionAllocEx()?My statement looks like this:status = LL_SessionAllocEx(session, "LL_Server", 2099, "", "", "", 0)It does not work. System keeps saying incorrect parameter.If I provide Admin and password to the statement, it works OK. Can anybody provide some source code for reference? Appreciate any help.

To use NTLM authentication and have LAPIsend your windows credentials, you must connect through the web server, not tothe Livelink port directly.  See the remarks on the Session Creation Input Parameterspage for the LL_SessionAllocEx function in the documentation.
