WSE 3.0 & inversed murphy's law

I know that murphy's law exist and in short, it's a law that states that whatever might go wrong, will go wrong.

But I was forced to do OT to implement WSE 3.0, a technology that went out of support(?) since 2005? I started the implementation with a I'm-gonna-OT-till-client-gets-pissed attitude. But at the last min after struggling for 2hrs with an exception, "The security token cannot be authenticated or authorized."

I managed to rectify it... A stroke of genius came when I try to use command prompt to run notepad as the user specified in the security contract.. Command prompt returned me: user account is being locked out.


True enough everything went OK after I unlocked the account via "local users and group" -__-

The command:
"runas /user: notepad.exe"

For once.. Murphy's law worked for me instead of against me.
