database logins to windows logins

navuser99

We are considering converting from database logins to windows logins. We are on 5.0 SP1 exes and running 4.0 SP1 cside database. I made the assumption that all I would need to do is add the user to the windows login and assign permissions and it would work, but I'm still prompted for my user name/password when I launch Nav.

Can you have a mix of database and windows logins or does everyone have to be a windows login for it work? Any other settings that I've missed? I know the windows login is correct, because when I do a lookup I get the active directory users.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

In the "Open Database" Dialogue you must choose "Windows Authentication".

You can use your Windows login and database log mixed. Important is the login type when opening the database.

If your local Navision will start directly, it can also be controlled via the program parameters.
see http://dynamicsuser.net/wikis/navdev/startup-property-nt-authentication.aspx

If you start Navision via Citrix, the Windows login is passed via pass-through.
