trice -> Subweb (4/9/2002 11:04:16)

I have a subweb that I set up for an employee site. It currently resides right under the main company web site. I have it using uniques permissions.

I can login and view the site from my desk using IE6. At home I have AOL. If I try to get to the page using AOL it just comes up with site not found. But if I connect to the internet with AOL and then bring up IE, I can get to the site.

I also cannot login and get to the site using Opera. It gives me the error "The server requested a login authentication method that is not supported".

How can I make this sub web password protected using Windows authentication and availabe using all browsers.

Thanks in advance to all who answer.

ok, can u provide a url? have u tested with Netscape? I bet if you look at those error logs you find that the uncooperative AOL is throwing that same error.

User Registration and Authentication are different on Windows2000 or Linux servers. If you are on Windows2000 look at the Spooky Login right here in these forums... http://www.frontpagecommerce.com/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=7&cat=Cool+Tools.
Maintenance of accounts and passwords can grow to a real task so you want to be able to automate it as much as possible. I have seen javascript that creates registration features but I'm not sure how secure that is...

All browsers, try using basic authentication...

Thanks for answering.

I'm using W2k and IIS5 with Frontpage extensions.

It works fine on Netscape 4.08, but I can't get it to work on Netscape 6.

We have the box on site and I really wanted to use the Windows/Domain authentication so I wouldn't have to do the up keep, it would be up to the system administrator.

And this is only the beginning. This afternoon I have been informed, no only do we need to use the Windows authentication but depending on the Business Unit where the employee works, the benefit pages have to be specific to that Unit and state.

Our main address is http://www.americanmeter.com and the subweb is \hr.

Well, one solution I can think of is to require your users to use IE6 browsers. It's employees, right?

If there is that much control needed then one piece of the security puzzle will have to be a MS browser

I can control how they access the page from their desktops at work but I can't control what they use at home.

I know that the VP of HR uses AOL and he is not the type to understand...connect with AOL and then go into the IE browser. Just not enough brain cells.

So I'm stuck finding a way to make this work.

Thanks.
