Session Loss Detected - No User Identity (Windows Authentication)

web-app

I have had reported this problem w/ 2.0.3 and Windows Authentication:

Users get thrown into the Registration screen, with a blank username (in Windows Authentication, registration fills user name for you - you cannot edit).

I have found that I can pretty reliably get this effect IF  I navigate to the Gemini instance (say http://gemini.mycompany.com/gemini ) - where login works fine thru WinAuth, and then from .../gemini/Main.aspx, edit the URL back to ..../gemini -- I then getted "popped" back into an "empty" user Register.aspx

The Error log holds (exactly one, and only one of) the following:

SESSION loss detected (GetUserID) -- no User Identity!

If I close, and bring up the browser this problem seems to go away (using IE 6).

I DO NOT expereince this with Firefox in anyway I have been able to detect.

I DID modify (with support's help)  gemini_getuserid()  SPROC (to manage floating domain name changes that are under progress in our intranet).

Since this was based on a skeleton Priority Support kindly provided, I can post here at your request (I have reviewed w/ several people, and do NOT see anything in it that would contribute to this - a user is found or not, with return values just as in the "stock" stored procedure, just additional logic; if this would have any effect because of error, I think it would register a person repeatedly....).

Thanks,

Yarko

Please make sure that the "Anonymous Access" option is NOT ticked in IIS directory security.

This can cause the server variables to be blank.

Argh!  Yes!  That was it!

I had set up this site a year ago, and it was not used by this group.

I installed a new 2.0.3 on the space for them, and didn't touch the IIS settings (assumed they were ok).

Thank you for reminding me to check!

Kind regards,

Yarko
