I have just installed BO XI-R2. I have followed the instructions for enabling NT Single Sign-on. This includes: Configuring IIS for NT single sign-on, Enabling NT single sign-on in CMC, Modifying the web.config file for NT single sign-on.

After following the instructions I get the following error message:

"NT Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again."

I'm just not sure where to go from here. I've checked and double checked the settings and everything seems to be right. The only thing that is unclear at all is the following statement:

"To configure the IIS web server for NT single sign-on
Using the documentation included with your IIS server, change the access and authentication settings for the Enterprise virtual directory as follows:

Deselect the Anonymous access and Basic authentication check boxes.
Ensure that the Integrated Windows authentication check box is selected."

I'm just not sure what they mean by "change the access and authentication settings for the Enterprise virtual directory". There are a ton of directories created with 5 showing at the highest level in IIS.

Any help or hints appreciated.

 
Hi,
The Enterprise 'Virtual' directories are those defined by the install ( businessobjects and crystalreportviewers115, usually)..

I also believe that you also will need to do that for each application's virtual directory that you have defined and want to be SSO enabled..
