Why won't Project Server 2003 Let me Login using Windows Authentication?
I am adminstering a new Project Server 2003 installation. I have successfully linked up select user groups with selected Active Directory security groups, and am able to access the Project Web Access login page.
However, when I enter my Windows account information (including the domain name), I get an error that says:
You have entered an incorrect user name/password combination. (5002)
I double checked my user account in Project Server and it clearly shows it as an Active account with Windows Authentication selected.
The only way I can get this to work is if I change my auth type to Project Server. I don't want to do that because I have too many users to deal with and the link with AD brings them all in using Windows Auth.
As a side note, it appears the Project Web Access has different pages for Project Server Login vs Windows Auth Login:
http://MyServer/projectserver/lgnps.asp <<< This one appears to be for Project Server logins
http://MyServer/projectserver/lgnint.asp <<< This one appears to be for Windows Auth logins
Note that if I click the link on the left bar to login using my Windows account, the page flashes and the address bar still shows the lgnps.asp page and not the other one like I would expect.
What am I doing wrong?

It is really dificult question.
Please check out page /LgnIntAu.asp which is used for PDS login - if you get XML page like this one:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <Reply>
<HRESULT>0</HRESULT>
- <Cookie>
- <![CDATA[ svc={2A080D24-F2BA-4FF2-B0
]]>
</Cookie>
</Reply>
And also check out IIS log and credentials which are used when you are requesting ProjectPages,

Not sure what "PDS Login" is, but here's what I got when I navigated to that page:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

First off, thanks guys for the help. I figured out what was happening. Turns out that I have Anonymous access enabled for the PWA site AND I had Windows Authentication enabled for the site. After some research, I found out that IIS only uses Windows Authentication when Anonymous access is Disabled, OR Anonymous access has been denied because the Windows file system permissions have been set to not allow access from anonymous users.
I simply unchecked the Allow Anonymous access checkbox in IIS and was able to log in with Windows Auth just fine.

Little notitice after this change there will be problem with PDS . Because the http aut will be required and the server and most clients applications do not suppose that is nessesary auth. user on Project server and on domain
