I don't have this, but I have instead
<authorization><allow users="*"/></authorization>

which I understood allow all users to use the application.

Anyway I changed to the setting you told me.
However, something was changed since I tried to use the application with Win
security last time, and now I get a different behaviour: user logon form
opened by browser has TTMSERVER\Guest filled automatically in user login,
and it is disabled (so I cannot change it to John anymore), so I can only
enter a password.

What could be the reason for this?

Thank you for your answer.

Regards.
