No Joke, Why don’t you read about integrated authentication? Let IIS pass the windows (.net) authentication to Domino? We use this feature and our .net developpers and users are happy and I do not allow anonymous access to our servers
You are probably frustrated with Domino becuase you don’t fully understand the product. Some education would be helpful.
Take a class on domino or hire a real domino developer.
You first mention you don’t like anonymous access but then you say domino is asking for a user name and password - well then give it a domino user name and password.
What is the error? What user name and password are you trying? Is it a domino user or a .net user?
I am pretty sure you can add a cookie to Webservice request in .Net, so all you have to do is generate the token if you have a username and password. See this thread for help
Hi Lars I posted this on Interop, but figured I would post it here too in case someone else was ever looking for it.
It appears like I have this working. I add the following constructor and function to the reference.vb file that is created when you inport a wsdl to VS
Public Sub New(ByVal securityCookie As String)
MyBase.New()
Me.Url = "http://myhost.com/web.nsf/webservice"
_authCookieValue = securityCookie
End Sub
Protected Overrides Function GetWebRequest(ByVal Uri As Uri) As
System.Net.WebRequest
Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest
request = MyBase.GetWebRequest(Uri)
request.Headers.Add("Cookie", "LtpaToken=" & _authCookieValue)
Return request
End Function
securityCookie in the constructor is the LtpaToken of the user or admin depending on how you want to do it. If I am running as a user other than the current user, I have a function that I use to generate an admin LtpaToken.
