Using Domain Administrator account with Progress Explorer.

Invalid username and/or password specification. (9173)

CAUSE:

The Administrator account did not have any local rights. The rights for the Administrator account were set at the domain level.

FIX:

The problem is one how a user is authenticated on a domain versus a local machine. For example, PROGRESS is a domain, PCXXXX is a local machine.
The difference is now a user is authenticated. On a local machine (PCXXXX), the user's login is authenticated by the local directory database created and maintained by the local User Manager.

On a domain login (PROGRESS), the user is authenticated by the either by the global directory database on the Primary Domain Controller or a copy of
that same global directory database on a Backup Domain Controller. The User Manager for Domains creates and maintains this centralized database.

In the case of "PCXXXX/XXXX," the Administrator user XXXX is a member of the local Administrator group.

The Administrator account "PROGRESS/XXXX" is NOT a member of the local Administrator group and is therefore not an Administrator on the local system (PCXXXX).

1. Login on local machine (PCXXXX).
2. Add domain user account to the Administrator group. Adding the domain user to the local Administrator group will allow the account to administer functions locally on the workstation.
