Key Manager Started from MMC Does Not Return Focus (183740)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q183740 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
When you display the properties of a Web site in the Microsoft Management
Console (MMC) and select the Directory Security, Secure Communications
option, you see a button labeled Key Manager or Edit, depending on whether
you have configured security previously. If you click the Key Manager or
Edit button, the Key Manager application starts. Focus will not be
returned to the MMC unless you first close Key Manager.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Key Manager is being started as a child
window of the Properties dialog box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information
Server version 4.0.
WORKAROUND
If you need to have Key Manager displayed while editing the properties of
a Web site, first close the Web site's Properties dialog box, and then
click the Key Manager icon on the MMC toolbar. This starts Key Manager as
a separate application. After it starts, you can bring up the Properties
dialog box for the Web site in the MMC.
