LF Server Windows Authentication issue

Version 9 Laserfiche Administration SDK

Updated December 16, 2014

asked on December 10, 2014 • Show version history

I have two virtual machines. One is the Laserfiche server and License server. The other is my development client. When I open Laserfiche Client 9.1 on the server I can log into a repository with my windows authentication. But when I try to use my Windows credentials to log in through my dev client code I get the error "Access denied. [9013]Laserfiche login failed." However, I am able to log in with Laserfiche admin credentials.

LFSession.LogIn(LFRepository); // my Windows login method

My Windows account is linked to the ADMIN account. I have checked firewalls and security settings.

Also, both time's I've updated the Laserfiche SDK I was unable to authenticate with the server to get the license no matter what I tried. My boss had to login with his Windows account and then use his credentials to get at the licensing. He is the one who set up the vm's and is also linked to ADMIN.

Thoughts?

I will check Event Viewer. I brought up the licensing stuff because I assumed it might be related, not being able to use my Windows account.

Are you sure your code is running as you and not a generic service account, like Local System? If you have Audit Trail on for failed logins, you should be able to find the event from your application and see what user it tried.

I'm not sure where getting the license ties into the SDK. How were you trying to get the license?

Audit failure is for my Windows account name.

I'm starting to think I may have been looking at the wrong Audit Failure. Do I need to enable Audit Trails in my Laserfiche code?
