Access DWA for login policy "Use system usernames"

I changed the "*Login Policy" of my DOORS 9.2.0.4 installation to "Use system usernames" and unchecked "Use passwords".
This works well for the users of the DOORS fat client, but I cannot login with DWA anymore.
Access is denied with both "username" or "system username", using the DOORS or the windows password.
I couldn't find any hint in the docu. Is there a specific setting in the DWA installation ?

Don't know.

v9.2.0.4 has been removed due to fatal data corruption bugs, you should upgrade to v9.2.0.5.

Thanks for the hint (I already plan to upgrade to 9.3) but it doesn't answer the question.
My aim is that a user who is logged-in in the windows network does not have to enter username/password when using the fat client, and that a DWA user may enter his system username + password.
I guess this is only possible via RDS + LDAP, does anybody have experience with this configuration ?

You do not mention the DWA version but e.g. for 1.3 the readme says:


The system user name login policy 

for Rational DOORS databases is not supported with Rational DOORS Web Access.
