  • 843522 Update available to configure the code page that is used by the Search HTML filter in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

  • You receive "The binding handle is invalid" error message when you implement Single Sign-On services in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you try to access the Manage Server Settings for Single Sign-On page in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you receive the following error message:
    The binding handle is invalid
    This problem occurs when the computer name is more than 14 characters in length.

  • Duplicate documents are returned in search result when your query includes the docsignature property in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you issue a query that tries to retrieve the docsignature property (urn:schemas.microsoft.com:fulltextqueryinfo:docsignature) that you included in the content index in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, duplicate documents may be returned in the search results.

    This issue occurs because SharePoint Portal Server 2003 cannot retrieve the docsignature property to collapse duplicate search results.

  • Search does not return a result set when you search by a custom numeric field in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you add a document library that contains a custom numeric field, and you try to search for documents that are based on the numeric field value in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, no documents are returned in the search results. You expect to see a result set with all documents that contain the numeric field value that you entered in the search criteria.

  • Search does not return a result set when you search by a Yes/No field in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you add a document library that contains a Yes/No field, and you try to search for documents based on the Yes/No field value in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, no documents are returned in the search results. You expect to see a result set with all documents that contain the Yes/No field value that you entered in the search criteria.

  • Audience compilation does not work for a large security group in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you try to compile an audience that contains many members in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, a timeout error occurs and the compilation is unsuccessful.

  • A user with access to a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 subarea cannot access the subarea if the connection to the site is the first session

    When a user tries to access a subarea of a portal site, the user may receive a error message that is similar to the following:
    Access denied.
    You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource. Access requests are not enabled
    This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
    • The user is the first user in the session to connect to the portal site.
    • The user does not have access to the Home area of the site.

  • Password is not verified when you modify a site rule and select a crawling account in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you modify a site rule in SharePoint Portal Server 2003, and then click Specify crawling account, the password is not verified in the Confirm password box.

    You do not receive an error message if the password that you type in the Password box is different from the password that you type in the Confirm Password box.

    Note The value that you type in the Password box is the value that is used by SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to set up the account.

  • The alert e-mail message line is truncated when RFC 821/2821/2822 single line length exceeded in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

    When you configure SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to send e-mail alert messages to a Request for Comments (RFC) compliant mail server, the lines of the e-mail message may be truncated to the RFC standard length of a maximum of 998 characters.
