INFO: Automatic Cross-Domain Debugging Is Not Supported in Visual InterDev 6.0 (244373)

SUMMARY

"Automatic" server-side script debugging of Active Server Pages (ASP) with Visual InterDev 6.0 is not supported when debugging across domains.

If you need to debug across domains, follow these steps:

1. Create a duplicate account (userid and password) in both domains (the domain that you need to debug "from" and the domain that you need to debug "to").
2. Follow the steps described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

   196378 HOWTO: Debug ASP Applications Manually Against Windows NT 4.0 Web Server

3. When setting the package identity for the application to be debugged to This User (as described in Q196378), ensure that the domain used for the userid is a valid domain for the "target" IIS server.

For example, if you have a userid in DOMAIN1 called USER1 with a password of "password" and want to debug an ASP application on an IIS server that does not trust DOMAIN1 but trusts DOMAIN2, ensure that the user USER1 exists in DOMAIN2 with a password of "password". When setting the package identity of the application to be debugged to This User, ensure that the user specified is DOMAIN2\USER1.
