Hi Jennifer,

Well, yes, it happened to a customer of us, too.
 
If you search for a thread with subject "Ilogin Authentication problem"
you'll see what I posted. But I got no real answer from fourjs. After
several tests here, in my environment, I found that the username was wrong
on the window header, but the real user had logged in.
 
Then the customer insisted that that was not their case, and they showed me
that not changing the user, but putting the wrong password 3 times, lets the
user log in, with that username, as it's then showed in the firt screen of
out application where we show the username obtained from the database
engine.
 
But after Oliver's answer (see last mail of my thread) I've tried to solve
this issue with our local support. No solution yet !!!

Asunto: [fourjs-users] Unrespected Password Problem


Hi All,
 
Has anybody come across the problem where a user may type in any password
and still log onto the Windows Front End?  We noticed this issue in January
2006, but did not have this problem in the previous years of using this
product.  Our wtksrv files have not been modified.  Telnet connection to the
system still checks if the entered password matches what is saved for the
user.
 
Hopefully a solution exists since it is a security problem.
 
Regards,
Jennifer
