Error: 0x800706D3 "The authentication service is unknown"
Problem:
This error usually is received when trying to make an authenticated connection between the NT client and the UNIX OpenROAD Server. The problem is that the UNIX server is not capable of handling authentication connections.
Possible Solutions:
1. Using dcomcnfg on the NT machine, set the Default Authentication to (None) under the Default Properties of the Distributed COM Configuration Properties. This may require the NT machine to be rebooted afterward.
2. Using dcomcnfg on the NT machine, set the Authentication Level to (None) for the OpenROAD SPO Server Pool application (and for the OpenROAD ASO Server, although this is not as critical). This may require the NT machine to be rebooted afterward.
3. Set the routing parameter of the Connect() method, Initiate() method, or both to unauthenticated.
4. Set the Routing attribute from the ASO Details of the application registration from VASA to unauthenticated.
