Login to Manager tool with application server

 Hi

I have a problem with setting up authentication to Manager tool with usage of Application server. I would like to use "Active directory user account" authentication option (Authentication method) since I would like to enable SSO for the windows user.

I set up Employee with data of the system user to use. Employee has attached AD account.

If I use direct connection to the database and not Application server user gets connected with specified system user, but when I use Application server  I got error when I chose this authentication.

Could that be connected that with application server you can only use role based authentication?

Thanks for your answer.

    Depending on your exact configuration, it *might* be possible.

    What the ADS authenticator does behind the scenes is try to match a currently logged on Windows user to a corresponding Person in the database.  It sounds like you have correctly configured that part of the equation.

    In order for the application server to be able to use Windows integrated login, you would need to configure the application server to require a Windows credential.  Then the server would be able to authenticate you as the logged in user.  Otherwise, you are going to be essentially an anonymous user, which the AD authenticator will not be able to match.
