SYMPTOMS
Applications that are configured to use the Single Sign-On (SSO) feature may fail to connect to a host system if the host security domain (HSD) was created through the use of SNACFG.exe. The specific symptoms of the problem will depend upon the application, but the errors will indicate a logon failure because the user credentials forwarded to the host system will be incorrect.



CAUSE
An internal configuration record that associates a host security domain to its assigned host connection is not updated when you add an HSD by using SNACFG.exe.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Host Integration Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

328152 How to Obtain the Latest Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack



WORKAROUND
Create the Host Security Domain by using the Host Security Domain Configuration Wizard in SNA Manager.



SNA Server 4.0
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack (SP) 3, 4.0 SP4.

Host Integration Server 2000
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000. This problem was first corrected in Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1.



MORE INFORMATION
When a Host Security Domain is created it must be associated with a host connection for the host security features to function correctly.

The ability to create host security domains by using SNACFG.exe was added in SNA Server 4.0 SP3. The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article explains the functionality that was added:

236847 SNACFG Should Allow Configuration of Host Security Domains

When you are using SNACFG.exe to create an HSD, the /INSERTCONN: parameter is used to specify the names of the host connections that are to be assigned to the HSD.
