I also tell customers to enter the full URL including port into the address when they are adding a web folder (even though 80 is default of course) this prevents Microsoft's intefering user/login management automatically adding domain information to the user name!! Weird but true!!
So now i really have a dilema if i wish to use port 80 (but dont specify port in the url) the user can't enter the username as windows interferes!! Has anyone found another way around this, forgive me I am not a Windows expert.
How does one prevent windows (XP and 2000) from automatically converting login usernames to domain qualified ones?
e.g. when adding a web folder using the wizard one enters the userName 'fred' and password 'fredspassword' then windows converts this into '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/files' for instance.
I probably should have that on my issues list, too (and cross-link the two issues). Does this issue have an KM article? In which webfolder versions does it occur?
Well I will try to get some more version information from a couple of customers for completeness and feedback for yourself.
This problem however is not confined to webfolders me thinks, I have seen this problem on the same system trying to connect to a Samba share, where Windows tries to add the domain name etc.. when one presents it with a straight user name like 'fred'. It is less of a problem with samba/CIF shares though because you can use the DOS 'NET USE' commands to map shares to drives etc.. providing usernames and passwords on the command line. It therefore must be related to Windows user/logon management and may not be specific to a dll. It may come down to whether the system is part of a windows domain or similar (again my familiarity with windows here is limited). Having said that adding the prot number to the webFolder address line does get around the problem so it should be documented from a webfolder/webdav perspective I guess.
I am sure others must have experienced this, and would like to know if there are ways around it (rather than changing port numbers away from '80'
