Workflow Web - How to make it prompt for windows credentials?

asked on August 16, 2016

We'd like to use Workflow Web to administer some remote Workflow Servers we have. However, we noticed that when we navigate to https://www.domain.com/WF, it automatically logs us in using a Windows Admin account on that server. It also looks like it's not possible to log out.

The thing I don't get is that the machines we are remoting in from are not part of the domains of the server we are remoting into. In fact, they are not part of any domains. So why is it logging us in with a DOMAIN\USERNAME account? Is it hardcoded at the time the application is installed?

The help files say:

Laserfiche Workflow Web uses Windows authentication to determine your current Windows account. Your current Windows user acount also determines which workflows are visible in Laserfiche Workflow Web.

 

This is not very helpful. My "current Windows account" is my LAPTOP\USERNAME.

I checked the settings in IIS. The application is configured to use pass-through authentication:

And the application pool is set to use NetworkService. Only Windows Authentication is enabled at the application level.

So where is DOMAIN\USERNAME coming from, and how do I change it so that it prompts me?

So what is ZENO\LFAdmin? The service user?

No, all services are using Local System or Local Service accounts.

ZENO\LFAdmin is not used anywhere as far as I can tell. It was just the admin account I was logged in as when I installed Laserfiche on this server.

The application pool is using NetworkService:
