Hi,


I'm on a project without Active Directory, so I have to, obliviously, use Form Authentication instead, which worked out fine with all other component except one.


The ViewFlow with Silverlight seem doesn't know how to deal with other authentications apart from Windows Authen. I've tried using Anonymous auth with Form auth (which is what I'm using with Workspace). The error box showed


"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity' to type 'System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity'."


Or using Form auth only. It just showed plain "401.2 Unauthorized" error.


So, what choices do I have here?


1. Ask fellow K2underground'er how to get this thing to work.


2. Can I force ViewFlow to use original ActiveX site? Now it automatically use Silverlight everytime, if it's installed.


3. Can I generated a static image representing the ViewFlow instead. (http://www.k2underground.com/forums/t/12005.aspx)


 


Thank you.

This article looks like it should help:  http://help.k2.com/en/kb001183.aspx


I haven't tried it but it looks promising.


Hi timkn,


Thank you for your direction. I will try it out later if my attempt to make an image turns out to be failure as having user install an ActiveX is still cumbersome in my opinion.


 


I will report back to this thread.
