Re: How does authentication work?

You would get that effect if you connected with the domain (or any other) account and the local account simultaneously. Why not join it to the domain?

We do not use more than one set to connect to those resources, just the domain account.
The problem is that when the remote server times out the connection and wants credentials sent again our server cannot send them because they are not cached.

The problem is in the connection ever timing out in the first place. If Microsoft had not disabled caching of passwords for the non-logon account we would not have the issue but if the remote server did not set some sort of expiration on an authenticated connection we would not have it either. It's just that nobody seems to know how that connection seems to go from being authenticated to no longer authenticated.

The multiple credentials for the resource is really not accurate, the credentials would have been exactly the same except that Windows no longer remembers what the old ones were so cannot actually compare them and states them to be different requiring all mappings to that resource to be dropped before any of them can be re-mapped.

It's frustrating but it's an application server that has to have those mapped drives and they just disconnect at times we have not been able to predict.
