Pass-Through Security

I've set up pass-through security per the admin guide instructions however I'm not able to add the domain\Everyone group using the web console account manager. When I try to add the account, it wants a password for it. Maybe I don't understand pass-through security, but any help on getting this working would be great.

I think this is related to the browser security settings. If the server is not listed as a trusted site then it won't pass your domain credentials (unless you have modified your security settings.) I had to pass out instructions to every one to add the server to their list of trusted sites and to make sure that the security settings for trusted sites did indeed forward domain credentials automatically.

Try to give it a dummy password initially then go back and clear it out (clear it and click change) and save.

AFAIK, Orion passthrough does not work with group accounts. Each user needs a specific account.

Did the trick.

Also, I just noticed, that it's not passing the authentication through. If I close the browser and re-open it, it asks for creditentials. Once I enter them I can log out, reload the page and it passes through just fine.

I am having the exact same issue as teh topic creator. I have followed the admin guide, step for step, in setting this up. Got to the last step of adding users using the DOMAIN\user method.

It wont let me continue without adding a password. After reading these posts, I added a dummy password, then cleared it out, which worked.

I then pulled up my Orion login page, with browser settings adjusted making orion a "trusted site"

I was still prompted for a User ID and PW. I entered my user ID, left the PW blank and I got it. However, this is only an illusion of WPTS.

I added another account of a different user, and I was able to log in as that user. Something is not right inmy setup. Mega kudos to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

So far I have followed the admin guide, steps 1 - 14. I have added Orion as a trusted site. I have added domain accounts, entered a dummy PW, then went back and deleted dummy PW. Still no windows passthrough.

Please Help!!!

SO I think I finally got this set up correctly, but still have a question.

I followed all the steps, added http://Orion Server as a trusted site, added the DOMAIN\users accounts with dummy passwords, then I removed the passwords after the accounts were set up.

WPTA seems to be working fine, but if a pull up a login page, and type in DOMIAN\user, I am able to get in with Orion logging me in as someone I am not.
Anyone know of a workaround for this?

I dont want DOMAIN\joe to be able to log into Orion as DOMAIN\jane
