Re: Problem with authenticating users to my WSS site



If you had said that a user was having this problem then I would have said
that they are logging in with just the user name and thus the domain name
(which is hidden) it is assuming is wrong. If that was the case then logging
in as <WSS_Server_Name>\username should work.

But as it's you testing it, I wouldn't like to propose that solution. So I'm
afraid I don't have anything provided you added the user without the need
for him to change the password of the account .

So it's perhaps not a WSS problem as such but something to do with access to
the DMZ from where you are ?
