I have created a C# Windows VS.net 2.0 CMSManager application.
Just a little bit ago, I rebooted my Windows 2003 SP1 server and now my
Channel users are getting access denied when they log in.

I cleared the CMS cache but its still giving me the same error.

I changed nothing.

Below is the error.

Here is the code...
try{
using (CmsApplicationContext cmsContext = new CmsApplicationContext())
{
cmsContext.AuthenticateAsUser(user.UserName, user.Password,
PublishingMode.Unpublished);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error occured while login  : " + error, "Error",
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}





Note:  My "Channel users" are not Administrators.  As of right now, only the
Administrators can logon to my C# Windows VS.net 2.0 CMSManager application.

Hi Tom,

is this MCMS 2002 enterprise or standard edition?
The problem you mentioned can happen in standard edition if either more than
15 users have been assigned to non-subscriber groups or if the DC for one of
the users is not reachable.

Cheers,
Stefan
