I had problems in logging in.
Maybe I am not able to  use Windows Authentication, and to define a user with the same name in FileVista. is there any other solutions? how can I do?

I'm in the process to test the trial version of Filevista, but after a regular installation and setup in my virtual server, I'm getting just the same error message.
Do you know how to fix it or bypass it?

This error means that the authentication is not fired for some reason. Please make sure that the files web.config and global.asax exist in FileVista folder. Also check if the virtual folder is defined as an application in IIS.

Let me know.
