The Documentum D2 3.1 SP1 release is kind of a mix between D2 4.1 APIs (using D2FS in backend) and D2 3.1 front-end. It needs SSO to be fully implemented and the configuration has to be applied for 3.1 as well as for D2FS. For D2FS, the same configuration applies whether you are using the NT Lan Manager (NTLM) or Kerberos authentication. If you want to implement Kerberos Single Sign On instead of NTLM, have…

This attribute contains the user name who has checked-out the document. In the following picture, you can see the search result with the wrong icon, whereas in the “Version” window, the checked-out icon appears for the…
