SYMPTOMS

After you establish a Dial-Up Networking connection and log on to the server using your domain user name and password, and you try to access a domain resource, you may be prompted to enter your domain user name and password or you may be denied access to the resource.

CAUSE

This problem may occur when your Internet service provider (ISP) credentials are incorrectly used for authentication instead of your domain credentials. Your credentials for the dial-up networking connection to the Internet are stored in Stored User Names and Passwords. This occurs when these credentials override your cached domain credentials that are also stored in Stored User Names and Passwords.

Note To install this hotfix, you must be running Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1). Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and Windows XP Media Center Edition include SP1. You must apply this hotfix and then re-create your Dial-Up Networking connections for this hotfix to work properly.


WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) wizard to create a custom Connection Manager profile for your Dial-Up Networking connection to the Internet. Make sure that you use the following settings in the profile:
  • Server&EntryName (where EntryName is the name of the dial-up networking connection entry)
  • Set the DontUseRasCredentials key to 1
The DontUseRasCredentials key specifies whether to cache credentials in Stored User Names and Passwords for use when accessing resources after logging onto the network. When you set this key to a value of 1, user credentials are not cached.
