Browser closes when using ActiveX + NT authentication!!

[gutted]

Hi - wonder if you guys can help me?

Bizarre.

When using NT authentication:

Try to view page that had ActiveX, and browser closes. No message, no warning - browser simply closes.
If try to view same page as standard HTML (instead of AX) all is ok.

When NOT using NT authentication:

No problems at all.

That's not the end of it. Not all users are affected. Some users have no problems with NT authentication and AX.
The "bad" users can go to a "good" user machine, and all is fine. Kind of implies something specific to machine (e.g. browser). And the icing on the cake is that the users have no control over their IE options (they are all locked down).

Be darned if I can reproduce the issue here. Have disabled *everything* related to AX, but I still get an error message and browser doesn't close.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Am at work at moment, and am stuck. Any help appreciated!

Cheers!

- Does this happen with all sites using AX or just a specific site? (READ: could it be server related?)

- You're running Win2K I assume; did you check the event viewer?

- Did you compare the user permissions between the users that crash vs the users that don't?

- Did you have someone who COULD access the AX pages trying logging in to one of the systems that COULD NOT?

Good luck!

Hi - cheers for your help, dude.

Looks like it is an issue of profiles. A user who is ok can go to any other machine and he still works. A user who who isn't ok can go to a "good" machine, and still has problems.

Didn't check event viewer - good call - will check it out.

I don't know if it works with other AX sites - we've only tested on the AX that our product installs. I was very tmpted to ask the guy to go to another site which uses AX (e.g. the Trend Micro "house call") but I was advised against it by our managers).

The guy is at least a bit happier that it is not entirely down to our product now, though. Which is always good
