Access denied on NOVELL Server

[Nogema]

Hi everybody

I use VB 2005

One of our project consisting in saving data on a network disk (NOVELL
Sever)

This project use windows authentification

for each attempt to write on the disk, the program leaves in error "ACCESS
DENIED"

This program works with local disk

With the same session, the user can save file on this disk with notepad for
example

I use the function "StreamWriter"

Does the parameter "Windows Authentification" of the project give the rights
of the user who opened the session?

Is there a problem with the use of StreamWriter function on a Novell network
disc ?

thank you very much for your time

Jérôme.

i would get rid of novell

they have had less than 5% marketshare for the past 10 years; RIGHT?

sorry that you did not get that memo


I worked in a novell environment once upon a time.
lets just say I sure as heck couldn't use 'novell authentication' in
place of windows authentication

Hi Jérôme

I'd imagine that from the sound of it you're not authenticating
against the Novell directory at all (which is why you're getting
access denied) and don't know whether NDS authentication can be bound
to Windows authentication. You might want to google for Vb.Net
+Novell Authentication to see how to authenticate against your NDS
server (e.g. a quick google came up with the following CodeProject
