Livelink Explorer and Livelink SSO

Appu_Nair

LL9.7,SQLserver,IIS6,DirSvcs 3.0Would anybody know why a Livelink Explorer client screen would tell the user "IWA is active and no user name password is required" when trying to add the connection from one server and something like a regular login screen from another server.The second screen also will allow the user in if the domain\userid and password is passed in. Both server's IIS's virtual directories are configured for Basic Auth and IWA and windows permissions allowed for "Authenticated Users" and both lets users unchallenged thru the web browser(this probably rules out REMOTE_USER vagaries).I really could not find anything tell tale in the opentext.ini files.A screen shot of the two screens are attached.Any suggestion or wher to look would definitely help and will be appreciated.Any clue how llexplorer figures out this ?

Closing this as it resolved itself.Probably causes were1)Missing cgihosts field did not have loopback addresses.2)"authenticated users" not part of livelink tree.Still one of these days I would like to know how llexplorer figures out the webserver is IWA.It cannot be the security pref authentication=NTLM because the same instance when exposed as a non -authenticated source shows up a proper window for userid/password.
