Hi all

We are using Sharepoint for Edit Online.We have passthru enable and chain defined is

alfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,passthru1Smiley Tongueassthru,ldap1:ldap-ad


The issue is when i am in any Domain machine and access application via separate user(other than the one used to login to Domain machine) document always gets locked by user which is used to access Domain machine

eg:
user1 logs in to Domain machine
user2 credentials are used to access application/Edit Online

It shows "Document is locked by user1"

Any pointers or configuration changes?

Thanks

Hello,

I presume you have enabled SSO for your authentication chain (specifically passthru). In that case, this use case is essentially not supported from a technical point. Yes, you can login as a different user in the web application, but SharePoint in a SSO scenario will always use the OS credentials to authenticate. There is no configuration apart from deactivating SSO that would support acces to SharePoint as different user than the OS-logged-in-user.

Hi alex

I have disabled passthru for client machine by changing browser settings and it does prompt me for password when I do Edit Online.
So when i provide credentials , shouldn't document be locked by user used for Authentication instead of Windows user
