Application Development Software

Hello,

We have an older instance of Stellent v7.5 running on Windows2k3 and IIS6. We have several .NET web services and web applications that utilize the WSDL SOAP mechanisms for checking in, checking out, and searching documents in the archive. I notice that the HTTP action between .NET service and Stellent SOAP uses NTLM authentication. It seems to work great. The user's Active Directory credentials are honored and they are only allowed to act upon documents within their described security group.

Flash forward to Oracle UCM 11g (running in Weblogic). Those same web services and applications are denied permission - HTTP Error 401. As I watch the HTTP conversation between service and UCM, I notice that UCM does NOT request NTLM authentication. It seems to only request BASIC Auth. The UCM instance does have and ActiveDirectory Authentication Provider configured.

1. What is the easiest way to point existing .NET services at Oracle UCM?

2. Can WEBLogic be configured to honor NTLM authentication? If so, that would instantly work.

3. Do we really need to modify all our .NET SOAP applications to utilize some other "weblogic friendly" mechanism for authentication? That's a lot of code to touch.

Thanks in advance!
