Lukas,

I don't think we are; at least, we're not using SSO/EIM. But thanks for throwing me a curve - just when I *thought* I was getting a handle on this stuff. .-)

Oh, I forgot to reply to Rob's suggestion about talking with our network people. What network people? Geez, there's only me and my boss. And while he knows a heck of a lot more about this stuff than I, even he admits he's no network guru.

4.2.2.3 but I've not checked) that I've used in the past with no problems.

Just a quick hint - do not do this if you're using Kerberos or another
Authentication which depends on being able to resolve internal DNS
names. The i will not switch to another DNS server if the one it's
using is working correctly - this will lead to authentication
failures.
