Issue

Do users need to be members of group 1 for Windows Authentication to work?

Environment

• Windows XP
• Windows 2003 Server
• Windows 7

Cause

Confusion regarding the On Line help definition pertaining to the use of  Windows Authentication.

Resolution

You do need to be a member of Group 1 to enable Windows Authentication in the general preferences.

Steps to follow:

Using Windows Users and Computers on the Domain Server:

1. Add "Acc" as a member of the domain.  Note:  Acc belongs to Group1 by default.
2. Add accounts for all the Continuum users that will have access to the application.

Using any Continuum Workstation:

1. Log on to the computer using the domain account. "Acc"
2. Log on to Continuum using "Acc"
3. Open general preferences and make Line 16 = True
4. Create all the Continuum users and assign them to any group,

Note:

The users you create in Continuum must also have a account created in the domain. You do not have to use the same account to log on to the computer as the account you will use to log on to Continuum. The Continuum account will follow the Domains password policy.
