Re: User log out?

You're absolutely correct. It just sounds like the user's IE might be
caught in a some level of credential confusion. Assuming that Liz has
rebooted the machine, which she says she has, and the user is still
accessing the sharepoint server as someone they are not, then something
is up with IE. All I'm saying is that if bad credentials have somehow
been saved on the client, and at some point they are no longer valid,
the account that is being used may be prone to being locked if
attempted accesses fail too many times due to an incorrect password.

When you reboot or kill all client sessions it will force the user client to
login to Sharepoint as themselves.

Since authentication is done between IIS level (well asp.net) and the
client workstation uses (NTLM or Kerberos), the credentials sent is of the
login user on the client. The authenticated login user in either case is not
the administrator. Therefore closing and reopening all browsers or rebooting
will send the login in user information, not the Administrator hence no
chance of lock out

For the client side, you could try two things. First, in IE, Tools,
Internet Options, Advanced, Toggle Enable Windows Integrated
Authentication. Might want to uncheck it, reboot, access the server and
pass in users creds. Then recheck it (and reboot). That might clear out
the saved password.

Might also try clearing out all saved passwords in Tools, Internet
Options, Content tab - Auto-complete. Hit the button and uncheck the
passwords checkbox.

Last solution which might end up backfiring is change the admin
password. The user will probably end up locking the admin account, but
at least then you have the option to provide different credentials on
his box, which would hopefully overwrite the admin creds.

Hi there,

SBS 2003 with SharePoint service

Background: Two weeks ago, one of my users was being prompted for his
password to get onto SharePoint, even though he was logged onto the network.
I reset his network password on the server, sat down at the desktop, and
again his password was rejected. (this is not the problem)

Problem: I'm an idiot. While logged on his user account, I gave SharePoint
the admin name & password. It worked, of course. BUT, it never logged out
of Admin, so now when the user makes a posting, he's doing it as the Admin!

How do I log him out of SharePoint as Admin, and back in as himself?

Thank you
