Yes, I am already authenticated. But my user isn't. I'm writing a web script that will allow a user to create a folder. I shall then provide a link to that folder. So I will need to do authentication.

So how does your user authenticate in order to start the web script. Or are they "guest" and therefore need a proxy account.

In your web script definition, is the value of your "authenticate" property "user"?

You can set "runAs" for a web script to run as a proxy account.
