NTLM works w Firefox but not IE! Passthru open failed.

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

I'm facing a strange problem (Alf 2.1 community on OpenSuse 10.2) - from the great help of some forum-ers, I managed to get NTLM working, but it doesn't work with IE(6 & 7). The error is "Failed to open passthru auth session" - as below …

I don't mind not having passthru, and the user is prompted for the Active Directory username and password, but now it is completely not working with IE, which is unacceptable.

Hope you can help!

Thanks!

Have you enabled logging for the NTLM authentication in log4j?
