NTLM Problems

[vasillalov]

Folks,

I've read all of the documentation on having authenticate with Windows Domain controller. I have followed this guide:

Alfresco runs but I get this error:

I am using the latest enterprise trial running on RHEL 5

Thanks for your help in advance.

What is your ldap authentication config?

Also, if you are using the Apache httpd server, make sure KeepAlive is turned On in httpd.conf. In my Apache server, there were two places I had to edit that (httpd.conf and ssl.conf)

Do you receive this error in Mozilla Firefox?

I received a very similar error when KeepAlive was turned Off.
