Logon error in Axiant for Windows NT

[Egil Oldevik]

Dear Members,

We have been struggling a while to enforce security when logging on to an
Axiant (PowerHouse) application on Windows NT. When we do not enforce
security (ie. use the -s switch on either the NETD console or the NETD
service) we can logon, but are not prompted for passwords. This renders the
use of logons useless as a method of restricting users' access to parts of
the application. When we remove the -s switch, however, the user gets the
message "50: COMM-E-M_LOGIN, Login incorrect". In the NETD log file, the
message is "CREATETASK: LogonUser() return error 259".

The service is running as user Administrator (ie. the domain administrator
for the domain where the server and the users belong). We have also tried to
use the local Administrator, as well as specifying the domain when logging
on (ie. domain\user in the username field). Neither works, and we are still
not able to enforce authentication.

As we have been spending a lot of man hours trying to solve this, we see
ourselves running out of ideas about new things to try. Therefore we would
highly appreciate any new ideas as to how we can locate the error, and find
a fix for this problem.
