Project Server 2003 Hold Password Information

[SkyEyes]

Does anyone know if when you configure Project Server 2003 to use your
server, if it also houses the persons password/credentials to the server when
it automatically logs them in. We have a person that cannot access Project
Server 2003 since his password changed the other day, although he can go to
another workstation that is set up,log in and access his projects just fine.
He receives the error connecting to the server on his machine. He can
connect to Project Web Access, just not through Project Server 2003. It
almost appears it is caching his old password somewhere.

Any Microsoft folks out here that can answer this? I tried wacking some
files in his profile (although I'm not sure what WinProj.box does--so I left
that) including the global.mpt, and removed his CU registry on all Office
that includes Project configuration, rebooted, cleared IE cache, cookies,
files, passwords, and still has problems.

We have figured this out with assistance from the machine's event viewer.

Everyone logging into that box following the gentleman's password change
also had problems connecting to Project Server 2003. We are all
administrators on the machines and this machine had IE7.

We had cleared everything including passwords on this workstation and it
would still not worked. We have an account that is full Administrator and
also is like a default account everyone is based off of. Logged in as the
local admin account, did all the things below as we had for the user.
Rebooted the workstation, logged in as user. Went into PWA and it asked for
credentials, checked box to remember password so he doesnt' get prompted each
time and it let him into PWA. We then opened Project Web Access and that also
worked.

All along the web site was in the trusted connections and security options
were checked to log in with automatic login with username and password.

We are starting to believe it was housing the old password in the default
account on the machine in case anyone else has any problems in the future.
