When a Windows user signs onto Windows as part of a domain, their domain user account in the Windows Active Directory includes a property called the Kerberos User Principal Name (UPN). The UPN of a user consists of the user name, followed by an '@' character, and then the full domain in uppercase letters. For example, the UPN for Windows user 1 (user1) might be user1@MYDOMAIN.COM.

When user1@MYDOMAIN.COM launches Visual LANSA, and if the Use Windows credentials option is selected in the Logon dialog, Visual LANSA Logon checks whether the repository contains a LANSA User which is associated with user1@MYDOMAIN.COM. If it finds such a LANSA User, for example "DEVUSER", then Visual LANSA Logon starts the Visual LANSA session using the LANSA User Id of DEVUSER. If there is no association, the log on step cannot proceed.

...

The association between a Windows domain user and a LANSA User is specified on a Windows server using the LANSA User definition in the LANSA Editor.
