Traveler Not Authenticating User

I’m having problems setting up a users Windows Mobile (smartphone) 6.1 device to use our Lotus Traveler server.

I can connect to mail server and have downloaded and installed the Traveler Client. The problem comes when authenticating with the mail server.

I consistently get a “Cannot Authenticate User (401)” error. As far as I can tell the user name and password are correct (they work for the “standard” webmail login. We have other users who are using Traveler on a variety of devices.

The device is a HTC Snap.

The problem is compounded by the admin who normally deals with Traveler being on extended leave and no notes being left…

Any Help?

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Try logging into HTTP://hostname/servlet/traveler using a web browser and see if you can get in. this often will give a better error message if the user is locked out etc.

If that works try from the browser on the device. Lockout scenarios include:

  • User is listed in the Internet Lockout Database on the Domino Server.

  • User is not specifically granted or is specifically denied access on the LotusTraveler Tab of the Server Document.

  • User has been locked out by an administrator in the LotusTraveler.ntf admin database via a Wipe action and no one has issued a clear wipe for that user.

Check these - hopefully this will help.
