What worries me is how the rules engine is supposed to fit into an overall architecture. From what I saw, it is, at best, very problematic.
I know that xlang schedule 2004 needs some account to run under.
I use a domain account that has admin right to the domain.
Now, I have an orchestration in biztalk 2004 calling some web service.
If I use anonymous authentication for the web service virtual directory, the orchestration works fine.
If I use windows authentication (that should authentication the admin account I run Xlang under), the orchestration failed!!! The event logs specially said the error is due to the web service virtual directory permission.
Do you know why? Logically, my set up should work, but it does not.
