Does anyone know if Webi 2.5.1 works with NT Challenge Response authentication for Windows 95 users? We set it up and as long as the user has an NT workstation they get in fine. We have many users that have Windows 95 laptops that are told that their login is not valid when they try to get into Webi. They do sign into our NT domain so I would think they could still be authenticated. If I go back to the Standard Business Objects authentication they get in fine (except that they are prompted to sign in)
I was told by BO Tech Support that under Windows 95 the ID is passed to WebI UPPERCASE! Seems a bit stupid to me, since the only way NT Authentication can work for Windows 95 users is if their BO login is renamed to an UPPERCASE version of their NT domain account. However, if you took this approach, I think the same user(s) would then have problems when logging in from NT Boxes. If anyone knows of workable solution, I’d like to know too.
