I am dead in the water with (2) users..one that had bad password on initial entry into EG and one that used an incorrect user id. Now both accounts connect fine to the metadata server from EG, but stop dead when trying to access any EG projects on the App server. We use Active Directory for authentication as our and maintain only user id's in the SMC. Where are the password files located that you mention? Has anyone made progress on this issue?

Ill let you know when we do and whether it works or not. Cheers Shane Hi Chris

I have a cunning plan to manage this by deleting the password files each time a user los in, but we haven’t got around to testing it yet.

Ill let you know when we do and whether it works or not.

I'd like to know of a fix as well. Shane, did you ever make any headway on this problem? I’d like to know of a fix as well.

Good point, Ill contact Stephen and see if he knows of a work around for the Office add-in, I hadn't thought of contacting him. Most of the lock out issues seem to happen in AMO rather than EG, but thats a great idea for an EG plugin, ill add it to our development list. Cheers Shane Thanks Alan.

Have you considered writing an EG add-in and use it to authenticate instead of the built-in EG functionality? Authenticating to LDAp is pretty straightforward in .NET so you could detect an authenticate failure and kick it back. I would also just send Stephen McDaniel an email or post it on SAS-L.
