I am trying to connect to CMS SP2 using the following code but I am getting
an error,

Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.CmsAccessDeniedException: The windows

Here is the code...

public CmsApplicationContext cmsContext1 = new CmsApplicationContext();
cmsContext.AuthenticateAsUser(user.UserName, user.Password,
PublishingMode.Unpublished);

Where user.UserName is a CMS Admin

Can anyone help out?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

did you ensure that user.UserName is of the following format:
"WinNT://domain/username"?
Other formats are not supported.

Cheers,
Stefan
