J-Integra using explicit authentication, anyone?

Hi all!

I'm using J-Integra to bridge from my web application to the COM
interface of another application. I now have trouble using the
J-Integra mode of DCOM together with explicit authentication. The
process running the COM object doesn't seem to inherit the network
connections of its starting process (i.e. the web server process).

Background: The web app implements an integration between a broker and
Rational Requisitepro, a reqs mgmt tool. The web app receives events
(get/post) containing new and updated requirements. The web app calls
the COM interface of RequisitePro, which opens a project in which it
creates or updates the requirements. The projects are always somewhere
else on the network.

It looks like when authenticating explicitly, the network connections
of the starting process (i.e. the web server running the web
application) is not inherited by the started process (i.e. the process
running RequisitePro). Thus, RequisitePro is not able to open projects
on remote computers.

All other modes of J-Integra (native COM mode, DCOM without explicit
authentication) works just fine.

Anyone have an idea what happens when DCOM and explicit authentication
is used? (Yes I know J-Integra support should know, but since we didn't
pay the support fee, I have to research this myself. At a cost of ...
much more than the support fee.)

Regards,
Jan
