Hello,
is there any change in the user/password behavior when
accessing network devices in windows in Mathematica version 6.0?
In[96]:= $Version
Out[96]= "6.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (April 20, 2007)"
It seems that I have to give the username and password again even though
I'm already loged in on the network device.
The behaviour is the following: When I want to open a file which is on the
network then I can't access the directory without giving the passwort. The
username/passwort combination is the same I use in windows. Therefore the
network authentication is always done automatically and Mathematica 5.2 has
no problems with it.
In the "open file" dialog I'm prompted to authenticate myself.
After I gave my passwort I can open the file and I can access every file
with e.g.
FileNames["*", {"\\\\path\\to\\network"}]
What doesn't work, even after giving the passwort is the access over the
windows network device letter
FileNames["*", {"Z:"}]
Does anyone have a clue?
Cheers
Patrick
