Use 2009 web services without a domain?

dpardom

Hi, I developed a dll with .NET which connects to Nav through web services.

All was ok (using UseDefaultCredentials = True) until I knew I won't have a LDAP domain on the customer's office.

So I have tryed to connect to the web services with database authentication

Dim ws As New PaymentMethodPage_Service
ws.Url = ".../Page/PaymentMethodPage"
ws.UseDefaultCredentials = False
ws.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "password") //User and password are working and are super on nav.

But I get an "unauthorized" error.

Now, I think "let's try the user/pass from the roletailer client"... ¡but can't see any way to use database auth from the roletailer client! Is it possible? [-o<

No, RTC and Service tier is working only with Windows authentication.

D'OH!

Thanks Kine, I'm gonna have a talk with microsoft...

At least I guess I could use samba in one XP and use it as domain controller :-k

You can install 2009 without a Domain.

Thank you a lot.
And thanks to Freddy of course.

It works like a charm!

One more thing: My main problem was that I was trying to add windows logins to Nav by the lookup, and then it reports an error saying that I need an active directory. Now I know that local users must be typed :oops:

Must I do something to mark the topic as solved? (Found it)

Yes, a lot of people make that mistake.
