Web and ACL

Really weird problem this!.. Or at least I think it is.

I have a database with a number of users. This database is to be accessed via the web. So far so good.

All users are able to login via web and browse views etc. However the problems occur when a user tries to open a document or to create a new one. The login sceen then appears which states that the user is not authorized to access this db.

After a little testing, i found out that if the user is added to the LocalDomainAdmins group and I restart the server, the user is able to create new documents and view documents on the web.

I would really appriciate if someone have any ideas on what the problem is.

Well I have tried a variety of different settings for the ACL with no success. I even tried to add one of the users to the ACL explicitlyi.e. one entry and set the entry to “Person”. No luck at all.

The way I want it to be is to set different groups to author access. so that I later can control which documents that could be read or edited by which users.

I read somewere in this forum that the only thing that works for web is roles. However i tried that by setting a default author and reader to a defined role and then assigned the role to the explicitly declared user. No Luck…

The symptoms are still that the user is able to access login in to the database and make calls with “OpenPage” but not “OpenForm” or “OpenDocument”. I find this very strange.

Is there something fundamental that I’m missing here?

It sounds like you are trying to access a different realm (db in a different location). Perhaps you are trying to reference a graphic or perform an @DBLookup/Column from a different db. If you don’t have single sign-on set up you’ll need to make sure your users have the necessary (probably read) access to that other db.
