IAS documentation

[Leon McCalla]

Where can I get thorough IAS documentation? I have the platform SDK and I am
running into either an undocumented feature or a bug.

if the user password is the word "ANI" IAS rejects the authentication
attempt. other 3 letter passwords like ATA or DID seem to work.

Please help..

What do you have so far?

Have you review the built-in help from Win2000 or Win2003 server? (It's
excellent)

Have you searched Microsoft? Using Google to search Microsoft is actually
more effective in most cases.

attempt. other 3 letter passwords like ATA or DID seem to work.

This does sound like it might be a bug, but it also sounds odd that you
would be using 3-letter (unsecure) passwords.

Also, note that the rejection might (probably?) be generated by the
AUTHENTICATION server (domain etc.)

Consider enabling logging on IAS....review the logs.
