TeamSite and Authentication Mechanism

I have installed Teamsite on windows 2000 server in domain ABC.

Teamsite Users are in Domain XYZ.
I have created an entry into authors.uid file for a user (for eg. user testuser) as follows:

XYZ \ testuser

But Teamsite doesn't authenticate this user.

Any ideas ??

Do I need to install to Teamsite Server in the domain XYZ ?

Thx in adv.

Is there a trust relationship between the two domains?

Could someone from the XYZ domain map a drive to a share on the ABC domain's server and authenticate as the XYZ user (not some generic "Everyone" or such)?

I'm assuming that when they try to login - they have the Domain set to XYZ - yes?

What errors are shown in the browser?
What errors, if any, are show in the various TeamSite logfiles?

For that matter, what version of TeamSite?

I guess, there is a security issue which our IT needs to resolve.

There is no trust relationship between these two domains. Which means, as you said users cannot map drives.

Errors in the browser: User Name and Password are not valid.

I will wait till IT resolve the security issue and then if I have the problem then I will post the message again.

Thanks
