Is there a way to make WebLink8.2.2 not require the Domain prefix when using 'Prompt for windows credentials'?

WebLink Version 8 Security

asked on February 28, 2014

We're moving to a new weblink server, and the old server (v8.0.2) just required the domain username without the DOMAIN\ at the start of the name. The new one only works when we include the DOMAIN\. 

 

I see an old forum post about editing the login.aspx.vb file to include the domain name, but it doesn't appear to be edited on the old server. If editing that file is required, what would the code be? I made an attempt at altering it and it seemed to have no effect and I don't believe that's how it was working on the old server.  Thank you.

If WebLink is expecting domain credentials and the user does not provide a domain, WebLink will attempt to use the domain of the process identity.  In a typical installation, the application pool will be running as a machine account.  I would guess that on the old server, the application pool was running as a domain account, which would allow this to succeed.
