Hi Thanks so much for responding to my post. I managed to find out this but from what I don't get is why after having installed and configured clients to authenticate towards the server correctly they still don't do it, I have looked for any log files that could give me some clue of what I have done rong but no luck the error log in the admin interface says nothing that is of use, I have also read the manual from one side to the other but I can not find anything that tells me what steps that I have been forgetting. Is there any error logs that it generats that it generates that can give me some more clues?
