Normally you won't have a reason to use another domain, the server appplication uses the domain of the user account it is running with. Make sure your application is running with the domain account you want to use AND sufficent privileges (needed to query the user database).
You have to give a domain user using domain\user - if, an only if, the server you're sending this information to is in *another* domain (with domain trustship) than the server application is working with. So that's necessary when domains are set up to trust each other. The Outlook web access I'm writing this email from prompts only for user name and password. I use this webmailer for years and it has always be the same, it looks the same with every browser that supports NTLM auth (IE, Firefox, konqueror, countless others on Unix and Solaris). I give you an example: My user account is in the default domain "g" where the server is in, but other users from a domain (ie "d") that is trusted by domain "g" have to write d\myusername. The difference is that Windows will query the trusted domain instead to look in it's own user database. Only in this special case you need to specify another domain. - You will need hm... I don't remember ...years ago.. (not admin rights but at least "helper" privileges) to be able to query for other domain users than yourself. It's the credentials from the logged in (server) application user, if you are running with a local account you won't be able to query the domain controller. - You can *not* just give specify another domain in the user field if the serevrs are not set up to trust each other - You can also *not* authenticate users of another trusted domain, if you use trusted domains, without your application user having privileges in every of the trusted domains Benjamin Stadin Fastream Technologies schrieb: > > Ok, thank you for tolerating my insistence.
