Problems with Windows Authentication

web-app

I am having problems getting my new version of Gemini (v2.1.1) to recognise my windows authentication. The upgrade went fine with no errors with any of the scripts that were run.

I have set up the site in IIS to use ASP.NET 2.0, the site is in its own separate application pool and it is set up to use integrated windows authentication. In the web.config I have changed the authentication method to 'Windows'.

When I try and access the site I am just presented with the login box and when I try and log in with my username and password it keeps saying that the username and password are incorrect. All users are set up in the database with usernames in the format of domain\username.

Anyone have any ideas? I am wondering if it has something to do with the SQL connection. I know that the site can see the database as if I change the authentication mode to "Forms" in the web.config it brings back a list of all our projects which are in the database. What I am wondering is whether there needs to be a trusted connection or something similar?

Also - see that lots of people seem to be having issues entering the new license key but I have put my key in the appsettings table in the database but it still things it is an unlicensed copy of Gemini. Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Kerry

Please check the directory security in IIS. Make sure that anonymous is not selected and that "Integrated Windows Authntication" is.

As for the license key, please reboot the web app.

Thanks for the reply.

We will reboot the server when we can to hopefully sort the license issue.

With regards to the authentication issue I am de-selected Anonymous Access in IIS as you suggest but I am still given the log in box when I try and get into Gemini. We had it running before the upgrade with both the Anonymouse and Windows Authentication ticked and it all worked fine.

If there is anything else that you can suggest it would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Kerry
