FrontPage authentication not working?

Check these first!

  1. Control-Panel, Networks: You must have the Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks installed.
  2. Dial Up Networking, Right click your Connectoid, Properties. Click the Server Types tab and make sure "Log on to network is checked"

Reboot if necessary, and dial back in.  Make sure you get asked for a login name and password at some point in the reboot.

It might help to create User Profiles in Windows95 so that you don't have to keep entering your password over and over again.

To define a user profile:

  1. Control Panel, Users and enable User Profiles.
  2. Restart Windows, and provide a UserName.
  3. A password is optional, and if you leave it blank, you'll never be asked for this login name again (until you delete the .PWL file)

After you "Login" to Windows95, you can save passwords for most Microsoft services, including the dial-in accounts as well as Frontpage accounts.

If you start using the same user account name for multiple services, it makes it a little faster and nicer if you synchronize passwords across the sites (manually, of course)

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade your Microsoft Internet Information Services-based Web site to the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions or SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, the include components and shared borders are not displayed correctly. The body of the main page is displayed as part of the shared border or the include component, appearing to duplicate data throughout the page. Also, after you insert a PhotoGallery or an Include page, you see the path to the page rather than the content of the page. In Normal view in FrontPage, the page appears correctly, but when you view it in a Web browser, you see only the path.
