Windows authentication problem in v6.1

[smarques]

My organization is using various EA repositories in MySQL databases created with v6.0. We use Windows Authentication to save users the task of entering their user name and password every time they login to a repository.

Everything worked fine until some users upgraded to v6.1. Now, those users are always being asked for user name and password  despite having the 'Windows Authentication" option checked. V6.0 users connect without being asked for user name and password.

Did v6.1 introduced a new behaviour when it comes to windows authentication, or is this a bug?

The only fix for Windows Authenication was put in build 781 (last build of 6.0) to deal with Domain accounts not logging in correctly.

Another thing to check is the "Connection Name" that appears on the Recent Project is exactly the same on both 6.0 and 6.1. If they are different try recreating the 6.1 connection with the 6.0 name.

Add the domain name to all user names: Domain\user.

It appears this problem only happens with MySQL. If I create an EAP file, enable Windows Authentication and include the Domain name in the user Id everything works fine.

With MySQL repositories the user is always asked for a username and password. Double checked domain names and all seems to be correct.

Is anyone able to reproduce this problem?

Thanks in advance for all your help.
