Project Server 2007 Forms-Based Authentication

[donrog1]

I am trying to get forms-based authentication to work in Project
Server 2007.

When following the TechNet Article, and using ADAM as the LDAP
Provider, I can successfully complete the test from within SharePoint
Administration (the test that attempts to resolve a username against
the LDAP database).

However, when I try to login as that user from PWA, the login fails.

I have modified both web.config files as instructed in the Microsoft
docs.

The Sharepoint Site (that does not use Forms-Based Auth) was
http://projects.xxx.xxx/pwa1. The new site was extended from this
site and uses port 90. I have tried logging in to http://projects.xxx.xxx:90/pwa1
as well as http://projects.xxx.xxx:90 -- both are unsuccessful with
the same error message.

The specific error message (which is pretty generic, I admit) is:

"The server could not sign you in. Make sure your user name and
password are correct, and then try again."

Has anyone seen this before?

It looks like you might be relying upon dns to resolve the URL, so I wonder
whether this might be caused by a lack of DNS entry?

No -- and just to be sure, I added this entry to the local hosts file.

Inside the web.config scripts, I have also used "localhost" as well as
the NETBIOS name (also in the hosts file) and the FQDN for the server
name. Same result on all.
