  • Microsoft Site Server 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you you try to log on to Site Server 3.0 Personalization and Membership with membership authentication on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 2000, redirection to the requested URL may be unsuccessful if the requested URL contains a directory name that contains a space. The requested URL will contain "%2520" instead of "%20" for a space. You may also receive a 404 error message from Internet Information Services (IIS).
If you are using the out-of-box form logon pages (or similar logon pages), locate the Verifpwd.asp file, and then change the following line of code
Response.Redirect (strRequestedURLVariable)
to:
Response.Redirect (unescape(strRequestedURLVariable))
