Inline callout and network access

dukk

Hi,

Running ts5.02 on w2k I would very much like to be able to do inline callouts from a datacapture template to a web resource (an asp page)

I have tried three different approaches so far, a perl script via LWD, an vbs script via msxml and a .net executable, all three are denied access to net resources, probably because the teamsite services are running as SYSTEM, and thus:

In Windows NT 3.5 and later, Windows NT services with no credentials (no domain name, user name, or password) that attempt to connect to network resources are denied access because they have no credentials and they are using a null session.

We would like to know if there is a workaround, such as using a local administrator account instead of system to run the teamsite servlet engine (or whatever service is responsible for callouts), or any other way that others have used successfully... I have tried running the different Interwoven ... services as an administrative user instead, but so far without any progress

I would really hate to resort "ugly" workarounds such as having a service write an ipl file every x minutes, but so far it looks like i might have to...

heres for hoping someone has the answer

Cheers,

Hi,

I've had a very similar problem - I'm using LWP in a template to post data to an external service.
I've found that LWP or even IO:ocket doesn't work from a template but is fine if called from a command line which is very consistant with what you have described.

If you have found a fix, please reply!!

The most annoying thing is that I had the templates working fine on an older version of Teamsite but they stopped working when they were transferred to a newer version.

As for a possible workaround - if (as in my case) the sole purpose of the template is to perform a http post you could instead of generating the page, generate a form with the content you want to [post inside a hidden field. Clicking Submit on the generated form could posts your data to your asp page.
