Earl,
I read that reply and having problems seeing the magic that gets this
scenario to work.
PWA is easy. No probs there.

My conceptual issue is the fact that when you configure an account to
connect to ProjServer with, you only have the choice of proj auth (not the
question here) and select "Use Windows user account" which is not
configurable and uses the credentials that you logged onto the workstation
with - how do you get by this? What part of your setup gets around this?

Thanks
Enomagic
