FP98: Subweb on Virtual Server Fails Authentication on IIS (194469)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q194469 For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 version of this article, see 170239.
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to open a FrontPage Web on a multi-homed Internet
Information Server (IIS), you are repeatedly prompted to enter a valid
user name and password.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the authentication response is directed to a
default server rather than the requested virtual server while attempting to
validate users on IIS.
RESOLUTION
Turn the default server into a virtual server. To do this, follow these
steps:
- Uninstall the FrontPage Server Extensions from the default port.
The default port is 80.
- Start the Internet Service Manager.
- Double-click WWW Service.
- Click the Directories tab.
- In the "WWW Service Properties for <machine name>" dialog box, delete
all _vti_* mappings which refer to the default port. (They will not have
an address in the Address column.)
- Double-click the default server.
- In the Edit Properties dialog box, click to select the Virtual
Server check box. In the Virtual Server IP Address box, type the IP
address, and then click OK.
- Close the Internet Information Server Manager.
- Install the server extensions to the IP address which used to be the
default server.
