strange authentication problem involving cluster

Hello,

I have encountered strange problem regarding authentication and
clustering.
This is the scenario:
We have an intranet web site with anonymous access, security using
forms Auth and impersonate true. Web site is running under domain
account (called "natar") and connection to DB done through Trusted
connection (with this domain account).

In this site we have another folder which is configured as WINDOWS
authentication
And connection to db done through specific username/password.

We have one group of people browsing the main part of the web site
(anonymous access) and other group receiving email with link to the
WINDOWS authentication part which they can access directly without
being asked for authentication.
Everything is working fine on a one web server configuration env.

The problem we encountered is that in a clustered Env. (MS application
center),
When user browsing the main part of the web site, opens another window
to browse the WINDOWS authentication part and return to the previous
window - HE somehow inherits the windows authentication and receives
the following error:
Cannot open database requested in login 'natar'. Login fails. Login
failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONY MOUS LOGON'.
He somehow losses the anonymous access with forms auth., and trying to
access with his own account ?!

I have an application that is ISAPI and the only way to secure it is through NT permissions. I need to have a way to login to windows authentication so that when I get to the ISAPI application no boxes come up. I want an ASP page to sit between the user and the ISAPI application. The rest of my application is using authentication that is database driven and wouldn't want the users to know the userid and password. Is this possible? If so...

I want to ask how password is stored and how to check the authentication? I have heard password is never encrypted and decrypted, but it is hashed. For example, consider a simple email logon authentication in a hash table: Key: my email address Value: hash_function(my plan text password)

Hi, I am using a 4 node AIX cluster with DB2 installed and controlled via Veritas Cluster Manager. VCS will fail databases between the 4 nodes when required. I also have LDAP configured, so use central user management. My question is this: If I have a production database on node 1 and a development database on node 2, and the application uses the same login, say APPS, how can I stop the development APPS user being able

Hi. I have a strange problem involving the passing of command line arguments to a C program I'm writing. I tried posting this in comp.programming yesterday but someone kindly suggested that I'd have better luck here. So here goes! My program ignores any command line arguments, or at least it's supposed to. However, when I pass any command line arguments to the program, the behaviour of one of the functions changes mysteriously. I have...

Hi, I appear to have a problem where the user is not kicked back to the forms authentictation url when they post a webform, via a get, that results in a long url due to viewstate. Instead they get the error at the end of the post Web.Config: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms path = "/" loginUrl = "View/Login.aspx" timeout="1"

Hi All, I'm hoping someone will have some words of wisdom for me regarding MS Clustering on Windows 2003. I have a service that runs on a cluster. During invocation it's supposed to determine from the cluster which node is active (this is a active/standby configuration) and either proceed or sleep depending on the status. The interface to the cluster is that advertised by the standard interop layer built by Visual Studio for the...

OK - So I know SiteMinder can work with IIS and ASP.Net 2.0. Here is the problem, SiteMinder from what I understand requires a client on every IIS box hosting a protected site that requires authentication. The client catches incoming requests to URLs protected by SiteMinder and requires the user to authenticate. The license for the SiteMinder client is NOT cheap. The problem: In a load balanced IIS web server cluster, I don't want to...

A couple of the engineers I work with are seeing a strange problem with an application I developed in .NET 2.0. I am suspecting this is being caused by the environment since so far it only happens on one of our customer's servers. The server is a Microsoft Cluster Server that has a primary server and one mirrored server. The cluster has a group of NAS drives that appear to the users as local drives. When the engineer trys to save the XML...

I have a .NET application that, among other things, creates Excel workbooks, and I have run into a very strange problem involving formulas on one worksheet that reference values on another worksheet. The text I write into, let's say, cell A25 on Sheet1 (using .NET) looks something like this: =VLOOKUP(RC,'Sheet2'!A:X,6,FALSE) On the completed workbook this turns into:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
