Hi everyone,

When we access NAV Webclient by different users but it shows the same user every time.

for e.g., if we login with ABC, it accept the credentials but always logged in with XYZ user. and even if we login with PQR it still logged in with XYZ

What user authentication you use?

I was wondering the same thing.

We used to be able to track and analyze activity by users: invoices entered by clerk (to better distribute the workload, ensure one person isn't overloaded), dates entered (e.g. Mondays vs Fridays), and time entered (so that clerks, mothers leaving early to be home when their kids get out of school, begin at 5am without supervisors, knew someone could track invoices entered).

I really don't see how to do that in NAV without weeks of partner programming.

hi,

strange thing .

NAV Server

Are you using the "NETWORK SYSTEM" user to start NAV service?

've mapped an IMPERSONATE user login on NAV Server ex with "Administrator" user ?

if so, the NAV Server always uses that user for login

Check also if you have an impersonate login on IIS and Anonymous login active

IIS Server & Web Client Config

Change your "ClientUserSettings.config" stored at "C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\71"

You can edit with notepad, and change the line: <add key="ClientServicesCredentialType" value="Windows" /> for the line: <add key="ClientServicesCredentialType" value="UserName" />

Save and try again :-)

Good luck!!

Hi Miguel, I believe he is using webclient so he might not even have NAV installed locally to modify that file hehe :-)

If you are using webclient, and you have 2013 RTC installed, you need to change it as well :-)
