AJS 4.x Manual

Note! This Manual is for the "Windows authentication" version, which is designed to work with existing Windows server or Active Directory accounts and Windows authentication. If you want to create accounts by yourself and store their credentials in your own HTTP Commander XML database, you need to download the "Forms authentication" version! This Manual is for the Windows authentication version only!

JavaPowUploader

JavaPowUploader is placed on the Java tab of upload dialog.

In Windows authentication mode with https protocol, an authentication dialog appears when you open the Java tab the first time.

This dialog box appears because Java Runtime Environment does not inherit authentication data from the browser and cannot access the required files anonymously. Namely JRE needs access to the following files:

Uploaders/JavaPowUpload.jar
Uploaders/commons-logging-1.1.jar
Uploaders/commons-httpclient-3.1-rc1.jar
Uploaders/commons-codec-1.3.jar
Localization/Uploaders/Java/Language_<Language>.xml

To suppress the authentication dialog

1. Enable anonymous authentication on "Uploaders/" and "Localization/Uploaders/Java/" folders in IIS. Disable other authentication types.
2. Ensure that anonymous user has read access to aforementioned folders. See NTFS permissions.

Right after you click the upload button in JavaPowUploader you'll see another authentication dialog, this time from the Jave-Applet. Unfortunately, you cannot suppress this dialog. You have to authenticate to perform upload.
