In Microsoft Windows 2003 systems configured to use Integrated Authentication, on logon, users are prompted for their Windows credentials.
To use Windows Authentication on a Win2003 Web server, you must remove anonymous access to the file or directory, and select Integrated Windows Authentication.
When you use a browser on a different Windows 2003 computer than the one where your Web server is installed, you must either disable enhanced security for Internet Explorer or specify the name of the Web server in the list of localhost sites for your browser.
If you use a browser on the same Windows 2003 computer as the one where your Web server is installed, you always get prompted (Microsoft behavior). To solve this problem, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 829011.
Sun Microsystems has uncovered a security vulnerability that exists in Sun Java System Directory Server version 5.2. Sun Java System Directory Server version 5.2 is available on the Supplementary Software CD that is packaged with Series 7 Version 4.

When you install and configure the Sun Java System Directory Server version 6.1 provided with Series 7 Version 4 MR3, you must specify a "Directory Server SSL port". This secured port was not configured by default when previous versions of the Sun Java System Directory Server were installed and configured.
The configuration and usage of the Directory Server SSL port is described in the Series 7 Version 4 MR3 Supplementary Software Installation Guide, but does not appear in other lists of the ports required by Series 7 products such as that in Appendix A of the Planning Advanced Installations Guide.
The default values for the Directory Server SSL port are 636 for Windows Installations and 1636 for Unix Installations.
If the default ports are already in use in your system, non-default values can be used as described in the Series 7 Version 4 MR3 Supplementary Software Installation Guide.
When you add an Informix data source to your namespace to connect to an Informix Database Server version 10 using Informix Connect Version 2.9, the Access Manager Administration tool may terminate unexpectedly.
Note: Other client tools, such as Architect and Transformer, are also affected.
This problem occurs because of a defect in the IBM Informix Connect Runtime for Windows client. The problem was fixed in version 2.90.TC6 and later. However, to implement the fix, you must set an environment variable.
