Question:
How to configure the Windows (trusted) login for the WebClient?
Answer:
The Windows login in Web Client can be accessed from the following adress: http://<servername>/Docuware/Platform/Webclient/ntlm. In order to set it work properly, please do the following steps:
- The client PC has to be in the same domain as the WebServer.
- The "Network ID" has to be determined for the corresponding user in the DW Administration
- Check the authentication settings in the IIS: IIS authentication settings of web components
- The Windows Authentication components for the role Web Server have to be installed
-
The browser has to be configured correctly
- Internet Explorer (Google Chrome)
Define the webserver of the Web Client as local intranet
If local intranet is not wanted you have to adjust the following in IE:
Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites -> Custom Level -> User Authentication -> Logon -> Automatic Logon with current User name and Password - Mozilla Firefox
about:config > network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris > just add the server name of the Web Server, for example for http://webserver/DWWebClient > webserver
- Internet Explorer (Google Chrome)
-
If the Windows Login is still not working properly, please remove the Windows Authentication provider "Negotiate"
- Open "...\DocuWare\Web\Platform\Web.config"
- Adjust the following lines:
- This config change was introduced by default since DW 6.10!
<location path="WebClient/NTLM"> <system.webServer> <security> <authentication> <windowsAuthentication enabled="true"> <providers> <clear /> <add value="NTLM" /> </providers> </windowsAuthentication> </authentication> </security> </system.webServer> </location>
- This config change was introduced by default since DW 6.10!
- Please save the file. Restarting the IIS is not necessary.
If you want to skip the login page at all, please note this KBA: Is it possible to skip the login page of Web Client?
